Our Group

Mal Dobson & Associates is our trading identity. Our Financial Planners are authorised representatives of Meritum Financial Group Pty Ltd (Meritum). This means that when providing advice, our planners are doing so under licence from Meritum.

Meritum holds an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL), number 245569, granted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). ABN 93 106 888 215.

Meritum has grown substantially to have a presence across Australia. Meritum (meaning merit in Latin) was created to recognise and reward the significant contribution of its people and to ultimately add value for the client today but more importantly for the future.

Meritum is a member of the MLC and National Australia Bank Group of Companies.

Whilst financial services providers authorised through Meritum have access to a broad selection of financial products, Meritum chooses to maintain preferred platforms and risk insurance providers.
