2025 Aged Care Adviser of the Year Awards

Recognising outstanding achievement in aged care advice

The ACS Aged Care Adviser of the Year awards have become an annual celebration honouring financial advisers who excel in providing exceptional guidance to clients navigating the complexities of aged care planning. As the only industry awards dedicated to this crucial specialisation, they hold a unique place in acknowledging the invaluable work of advisers who ensure their clients have more choice and greater control over their retirement planning.

Recognising excellence in this field not only celebrates individual achievement, it also shines a spotlight on the importance of high-quality aged care advice in the broader financial landscape.

Now in its fourth year, we are excited to celebrate again the dedication, expertise and compassion that define the outstanding financial advisers in this field. Winning the Aged Care Adviser of the Year Awards is a significant achievement, reflecting the meaningful difference advisers have made to the lives of their clients.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the best in aged care advice.
