You need to provide details for each financial adviser you want to appoint, including:
- name
- role type (relevant provider, provisional relevant provider or time-share adviser)
- business address, email address and phone number
- work history
- qualifications and training
- ability to provide tax (financial) advice services
- memberships of professional bodies
- financial products they are authorised to give advice on.
The financial products that a relevant provider can provide advice on must not exceed those of the AFS licensee.
If a relevant provider is also an authorised representative, you need their representative number to appoint them as a relevant provider. To find their number, search the Authorised Representatives Register. This number is used for both roles.
If a relevant provider is authorised by another AFS licensee and is already appointed on the Financial Advisers Register, you need to check their details are correct before you appoint them (using the same representative number).
For a full list of details that must be included on the Financial Advisers Register, see Information on the Financial Advisers Register. Documentation is not required to appoint a relevant provider, however, you must declare that the information you have provided is complete and accurate.
