Fogarty would bring experience at Geneseys and IPAC Equity Partners, as well as his time as general manager, Garvan and MLC financial planning at MLC.
John McMurdo welcomed Fogarty’s extensive history in the advice industry.
“I am delighted that Matthew will be joining our Group to lead Fitzpatricks Private Wealth. Matthew’s extensive industry experience and passion for advice will support our firm as we continue to grow,” he said.
Woodley would now oversee advice across Fitzpatricks Financial Group, with a strategic focus on mentoring and coaching advisers.

“Many licensees do not have the resources to invest in high quality coaching and mentoring services, but this is an area we believe we can show industry changing leadership. As a Founder and Director of our firm, John Woodley’s advice is highly valued and appreciated by advisers.”
