The actual fee charged to you will depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss and agree the actual fees with you before we proceed and explain how they are payable.

The following section outlines the types of fees that may apply:

We don’t change our clients fees, expenses or anything else directly for the personal or business risk advice we provide.

The fees charged for our advice and services on ACC Cover may be based on an hourly rate of $120 plus GST. This fee will be payable by the client by the 20th of the month following when the invoice is provided to the client.

We may charge a fee for the financial advice provided to a client where a client cancels a life or health insurance policy within two years of inception. Whether a fee will be charged and the manner in which it will be charged will be advised when the advice is provided to the client. This fee will be payable by the client by the 20th of the month after the policy is cancelled.

For services in relation to insurance products, commissions may be paid by the product provider as follows:

Initial commission – a percentage of the value of your insurance premiums; and

Ongoing commission – a percentage of the value of your insurance premiums, usually calculated at the end of each month on renewal of insurance products.

For life insurance and health insurance, Lifestyle Insurance Consultants Ltd and the financial adviser receive commissions from the insurance companies on whose policies we give advice. If you decide to take out insurance, the insurer will pay a commission to Lifestyle Insurance Consultants Ltd and your financial adviser. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the premium.

To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We undertake a compliance audit. A review of our compliance program is undertaken annually by a reputable compliance adviser.
