Consumer Law-Part 1 e-Learning

  • 2 hrs
  • 2 CPD points
  • Technical, Skills
Read about this CPD

In the Consumer Law e-learning you will find, the Australian Consumer Law – or the ACL, as we’ll refer to it – contains a number of protections for people when they are buying goods or services. Many people aren’t aware of their rights as consumers and, as a result, suffer financially when they unknowingly purchase poor quality goods and services or are taken advantage of by unscrupulous businesses.
As someone who works with vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalised clients, it is important that you are aware of the protections and compensation that the law offers.

 

To access the course, click the button below that says “Enroll for free”. You will be prompted to create an account, if you don’t already have one, which will take less than a minute. If you do already have an account, please just follow the link ‘I already have an account’.
Please note that in order to get your CPD points, you will need to download the document at the end (under the page “Submit your responses”), fill in the responses and upload it in the e-learning platform itself.

Controversial Referrals – Referring to fee for service providers

  • 2 hrs
  • 1 CPD points
  • Skills, Ethics
Read about this CPD

Referrals are at the very core of every financial counsellor’s work. Are there things to consider, particularly when we refer to fee for service providers? The professional standards committee will be releasing a ‘client referrals checklist’ to assist financial counsellors and their clients when making referrals.
The checklist forms the basis of this PD session with attention being drawn to
1. Fees and charges
2. How money gets paid out
3. Impact of potential lump sum payment on individual clients and
4. Referral processes for the client
5. How to choose which providers you could include in your referral recommendations.
The training session was very interactive with couple of case work scenarios.
