About the organisation

AIA Financial Wellbeing was launched in 2021 as a new financial advice business with a goal to help more Australians access affordable, straightforward advice that considers the life, health and financial goals and objectives of our customers. Because we understand that financial wellbeing is linked to physical and mental wellbeing. We are operated by AIA Financial Services Limited, a subsidiary of AIA Australia, under a separate Australian Financial Services License (AFSL). In upholding our AFSL, we comply with ASIC and FASEA obligations and standards.
