“The Stella Network is certainly striking a chord in the financial planning industry,” Mr Spiers said. “Our engagement statistics are really favourable – defying other LinkedIn group averages in terms of active discussion and member participation for networks of this size.

Introducing greater diversity into the industry will help increase the number of Australians seeking advice, Mr Spiers said.
