Terms and conditions of appointment

Once authorised we will issue you Terms and Conditions of Appointment. You must operate within our guidelines or you risk breaching our requirements and also the law. We have carefully crafted these guidelines for the safety of both you (and your business), our other Authorised Representatives and ALI Group. If you fail to meet our requirements when discussing and offering My Protection Plan, we can be found to be in breach of our Australian Financial Services Licensee obligations and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) may impose penalties against us (such as a fine or impact to the ALI Group licence).

As an authorised representative you must make sure:

1. You provide only general advice to your clients.
2. Your clients are aware that you provide only general advice and do not take your clients’ personal circumstances into account when offering My Protection Plan.
3. Your clients have your Financial Services Guide (FSG).
4. Your clients have access to the PDS.
5. Your clients provide acknowledgement of the required declaration.

Along with the above responsibilities, you will complete an annual compliance review with your BDM to ensure you’re operating within the parameters of your authorisation.

As a general advice model, you must offer My Protection Plan to all eligible clients. Does your client base align with our typical policyholder? Our product generally appeals to First Home Buyers, making up 50% of new ALI policyholders. What does the average First Home Buyer in Australia look like?

• The average age is 31 years¹
• The average loan size is $316,850²
• Often settling in outer metro or regional areas
