Free assessment for DB pension transfer, SIPP, and QROPS mis-selling claims for British expatriates in Australia and former Australian residents with UK pension rights. Four regulated routes to compensation.
Start your free assessment →Australia is home to a significant number of British nationals and dual UK-Australian citizens who transferred UK pension rights before emigrating or while living overseas. During the period 2010–2022, adviser firms operating across Australia and through international networks recommended large numbers of UK defined benefit pension transfers into SIPP and QROPS arrangements.
Australian regulation of UK pension advice is separate from FCA regulation. Where the UK transfer involved a UK-regulated SIPP, FOS and FSCS jurisdiction typically applies to the UK-authorised entity regardless of where the advice was given. FSMA s.27 additionally provides a civil court remedy where the Australian-based adviser was not FCA-authorised at time of transfer.
Mark Perry, Founder of Redress Advisory, held ASIC regulatory authorisation (FAR 001296551) in Australia between April 2022 and September 2024 — giving Redress Advisory direct insight into the Australian expat pension advisory market.
