In this episode of the ifa podcast, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic and Peter Johnston talk about the experience pathway in light of the government’s recent announcement.

Peter Johnston, executive director of the Association of Independently Owned Financial Professionals and a longtime advocate of the experience pathway, returns to the ifa podcast to explain its potential as a game-changer for the industry.

The pair run through how the experience pathway would work in practice and whether Mr Johnston believes certain limitations need to be imposed.

He also reveals how receptive the government is to the Quality of Advice Review following his recent meeting in Canberra with the Treasury department tasked with overseeing the government’s response.
