You can manage your super yourself — many Australians do. But there are moments when speaking to a licensed financial adviser genuinely pays for itself, particularly around superannuation, where small decisions compound over decades. So do you need a financial adviser for your super? It depends on where you are and what you're deciding.
When advice adds the most value
- You have multiple super accounts and aren't sure whether to consolidate.
- You're unsure about the insurance inside your super and whether it fits your needs.
- You're approaching retirement and decisions become higher-stakes and harder to reverse.
- You want to know how your fund compares on fees and performance but don't have time to research it properly.
What a good adviser actually does
A licensed adviser isn't there to sell you a product. They help you understand your current position, model your options, and make decisions aligned with your goals — clearly, and in plain English. Good advice is about clarity and confidence, not pressure.
A no-pressure starting point
If you're not sure whether advice is worth it, a complimentary super review is a low-commitment way to find out. A licensed Donmont adviser reviews your fees, performance and insurance, and tells you plainly whether there's anything worth acting on — with no obligation to proceed.
