What is it?
AFA Communities of Practice are groups of like-minded professionals who share the AFA’s values of passion for financial advice and helping Australians achieve their potential.
Why join?
The AFA Communities of Practice offer high-value shared learning opportunities. We believe that peer-to-peer learning offers a complementary alternative to traditional compliance-orientated professional development. With this in mind, AFA Communities of Practice make a valuable contribution to the lifelong learning needs of financial advice professionals. Communities of Practice focus on sharing knowledge, skills, experience and expertise that far exceed the formal learning requirements of a financial adviser.
Advisers have always been a valuable source of knowledge. Practitioners constantly solve problems, refine their skills, and learn from their mistakes. They receive feedback directly from client conversations and have a unique and informed perspective on the financial advice profession. This knowledge and ongoing learning is captured and refined in the AFA’s professional development curriculum.
If a new solution, idea, or advice opportunity is discussed in a community, practitioners can apply it directly to their business, and those who develop new solutions can share their insights. This two-way process of engaging practitioners and cultivating knowledge is a valued component of the AFA’s professional development curriculum, applying hands-on learnings and insights to strategic directions that are shared with licensees, members and government stakeholders.
