Australian adviser community network, Ensombl, has launched a new CPD platform across the ditch which it says has the capacity to reduce the time taken to complete a CPD process from months to minutes.
In what Ensombl CEO, Clayton Daniel, describes as an astronomical step forward, not only can the new Australian CPD platform use latest technology to drastically reduce the time taken to complete a CPD accreditation process, it also offers the capacity to convert every-day learnings undertaken by advisers within their own practice and convert those learnings into valid, accredited CPD content.

Our poll seeking to discover if practices are seeing more clients lodging claims for mental health-related conditions, has delivered mixed results.
As we go to press, just over four in 10 advisers (41%) report they are not seeing more clients lodging claims for mental health-related conditions, although nearly as many advisers, at 35%, say they are seeing more such claims. However a notably sizable 24% are not sure.
