10 years of commission-free advice

2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of Industry Fund Financial Planning (IFFP)

In 1999 the decision by Industry Fund Services to establish a small planning practice with a fundamental ‘No Commissions’ philosophy went unremarked at the time. A decade later IFFP has grown into a national division of IFS providing planning services to members of leading industry funds and unions.

When a member contacts an IFFP planner they know they receive quality, well researched advice based only on their best interests. No product selling, hidden fees, commissions or asset based charges. Tens of thousands of members and their families benefited from our pioneering fee-for-service advice model over the last decade.

Is the commission based advice model of the retail sector on the way out? 

IFFP welcomes the growing recognition from both government and regulators that the system must change. Best interests of members continue to form the core of IFFPs values. IFFP's retail competitors still have a long way to catch up.

If you would like to find out more about IFFP and its services visit the IFFP websiteemail or to speak to an IFFP Financial Planner call 1300 138 848 to make an appointment.

IFFP is a division of Industry Fund Services Pty Ltd (IFS) ABN 54 007 016 195, AFSL 232514, a wholly owned subsidiary of Industry Super Holdings (ISH) ABN 71 119 748 060, which in turn is owned by a number of leading industry funds. Click here to see IFFP privacy policy.

How do I know what I should get paid?

It can be quite complicated in determining this question. First, you have to determine what agreement covers your employment. Next, you then have to interpret the terms in the agreement. If you were a member, you will get the assistance of experienced union officials and the ETU legal department, who answers such questions like this everyday.

My husband is having problems with his employer and thinks he may be sacked. If he joins the Union will they help?

Members get the benefit of the ETU legal department that can represent them on any employment issues – including unfair dismissal. Non-members will have to get their own legal representation which will cost them potentially tens of thousands of dollars.

My son is a second year apprentice and has been working on his own and he does not get paid for overtime, is this okay for an employer to do this?

It is not okay for the Employer to do this. If your son is a member, the ETU has a designated Apprentices Officer who specializes in issues of Apprentices Supervision and Pay and will assist apprentices who are members on these and other relevant issues to the apprenticeship.
