Call us now: 1300 277 777How it works
We’ve broken down the financial planning process into four simple steps.
-
Get in touch
Call us at 1300 277 777 and we’ll ask you a few questions about how we can help and then book an appointment that best suits your needs.
You can also email us at financial.advice@csc.gov.au, however if this is your first time meeting with us we do ask that you give us a call so we can make sure we are booking the right meeting for you. -
Complete a discovery record
After scheduling your appointment, you’ll receive a welcome pack via email that has your appointment details, but more importantly, has a few documents for you to fill out. These documents will allow our authorised financial planner to get to know you, understand what your financial situation is, your goals, and basically, allow your authorised financial planner to get your appointment off to a good start.
-
Find out more about you
In your first meeting, our authorised financial planner will ask you questions to find out more about you, your goals and objectives. Your authorised financial planner will then identify opportunities to add value to your circumstances and provide you a quote to undertake this work with you.

Planning with you
From here our authorised financial planner will use all the information they've gained from you, together with research and analysis, to create a financial plan that is tailored to you - for you to achieve your personal financial goals.

At CSC, we believe all our customers deserve all the guidance they need to secure a safe and comfortable retirement as well as have the peace of mind that they and their families are in safe hands. Our authorised financial planners aim to provide quality, good value advice.
1. Comprehensive advice
Our advice offering is ‘fee-for-service’, which means you receive a fixed quote upfront. There are no obligations, commissions or hidden fees.
An initial appointment will cost $185 and personal comprehensive advice, being a personal financial plan, ranges from $2,200 - $6,600 (incl. GST), depending on complexity and the amount of work involved.
The fee quoted covers such things as reviewing your current circumstances, developing a strategy to help you achieve your financial goals, preparing a Statement of Advice documenting our advice to you, implementing this advice, as well as all contact and meetings with your authorised Financial Planner along the way.
2. Annual advice review
No matter how things change, our commitment to help you through it all stays the same. Our ongoing advice service allows you to access financial planning advice from your authorised financial planner either annually or bi-annually to regularly update your financial plan and ensure you’re on track to achieve your goals.
Your authorised financial planner can discuss your ongoing advice options with you. Annual advice review starts at $2,200 per annum (incl. GST).
3. Simple advice
As part of your PSSap and ADF Super membership, you have access to simple advice at no extra cost to you. This advice is designed to help answer some commonly asked questions like; whether you have the right level of insurance or how you should be investing your super.
Simple advice is provided by a CSC authorised financial planner. All advice is given solely in your best interests. Simple advice appointments are conducted over the phone. To book an appointment, call 1300 277 777.
After the appointment with one of our authorised Financial Planners, we will be in a better position to understand whether simple advice is appropriate for you, and if so, prepare more personalised advice on these simple topics at no additional cost.
