Aged Care Steps launches Aged Care Adviser of the Year Awards
Industry leader Aged Care Steps has launched the 2022 ACS Aged Care Adviser of the Year Awards.
As part of their declaration that 2022 is the Year of the Aged Care Adviser, Aged Care Steps has launched these inaugural awards to recognise and champion the significant work by aged care advisers in helping people navigate the aged care maze.
“These awards will set a benchmark for aged care advice excellence and promote recognition of adviser excellence and the importance aged care advice holds in financial planning,” said Louise Biti, Director of Aged Care Steps.
There are two categories under which advisers can nominate themselves or another adviser:
Aged Care Adviser of the Year
Aged Care Advice Program of the Year
The first category recognises an individual adviser who is deemed to have demonstrated outstanding professional commitment in providing aged care advice to older Australians and their families.
The second category recognises an Australian adviser or business working in financial services that have actively advocated the promotion of aged care advice amongst their client base, referral networks, peers or local community.
Applications will be reviewed and assessed by an external panel of respected professionals, who will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Aged Care Adviser of the Year Awards forms part of the broader 2022 campaign launched by Aged Care Steps which aims to raise awareness of the highly valued and expert services that aged care advisers provide.
“We declared 2022 the Year of the Aged Care Adviser as a rallying call to advice professionals to ensure this is the year they make aged care advice a successful component of their business strategy”, advised Assyat David, Director of Aged Care Steps.
“The Awards are a perfect way for us to recognise outstanding aged care advisers in a year where we wish to raise the profile and awareness of their specialised contribution to the advice profession,” continued Assyat.
Full details of the Awards and the nomination and application processes are available here.
Applications close on Wednesday 12 October by 6.00pm Sydney daylight savings time.
