The changes were announced at an internal company meeting by Commonwealth Financial Planning general manager, Harry Mitchell, who said the new remuneration model would commence on 1 July, 2013.
Money Management understands the changes come as the business prepares for the post FOFA environment, with a major focus on sustainability.
The changes will see a change in customer interaction and the standardisation of commissions on risk renewals.
