Austbrokers Life, the specialist life insurance division of Austbrokers, has entered an agreement with Australian Unity Personal Financial Services (AUPFS), a member-owned wellbeing company with 400,000 members and over 700,000 customers.

As part of the partnership, AUPFS has authorised Austbrokers Life to provide financial advice under the wellbeing company’s Australian Financial Services License (AFSL). The wellbeing company will also deliver strategic and other support to Austbrokers Life to enhance the quality of advice its clients receive and provide access to broader solutions to clients in financial advice, trustee services, banking, and health insurance.
