The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) will soon be rolling out its revamped mentoring program in an effort to bridge the gap between its GenXt and more experienced advisers.

The program will include face-to-face mentoring, webinars and white papers on topics such as generating referrals, marketing to a target client segment, handling objections and developing centre-of-influence relationships, the AFA stated.

"Advisers are currently providing financial advice to two in 10 Australians — this simply isn't enough," AFA national GenXt chair Fraser Jack said.

"If we want to see more Australians accessing advice, we have to work together to come up with really great strategies and highly relevant approaches."

Apart from encouraging less experienced advisers in their careers, the AFA said it expected the mentoring program would motivate those with more experience.

The program will launch across the country on 30 May.
