Selecting a financial planning major will equip you with essential skills to achieve personal financial objectives while building professional expertise to guide others. Financial planners focus on critical areas such as retirement taxation, investments, and estate planning. You'll explore both the theoretical foundations of financial planning and their real-world implementation. The Bachelor of Commerce (with a Financial Planning major) is accredited by the Financial Adviser Standards (FAS), the governing body for financial planning education. Completing this major satisfies FAS educational requirements for providing financial advice in Australia and qualifies graduates for professional certification programs, including the FAAA's CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® program. Additionally, this major fulfills educational mandates under the Tax Agents Services Act (TASA), incorporating TPB-approved taxation law coursework.
