- ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
- SMSF ACCREDITED
John is the founder of Medico Wealth. John was originally born in Malaysia, but has spent the last 31 years in Brisbane. John has over 14 years experience in the financial services industry.
Early in his career, he worked as an Accountant in mid-tier Accounting firms and also for Suncorp Bank in a relationship management role, where he gained valuable knowledge which he now shares with his clients. He enjoyed Accounting, but soon realised his work was too focused on history and past transactions. This motivated him to switch into financial advice, which now allows him to influence the future for his clients through investing and careful planning.
John has always had a deep respect for medical professionals as they are improving the health and wellbeing of society. This created his genuine passion for helping medical professionals and Australian families achieve their personal financial and lifestyle goals. John gets a great sense of achievement when he sees his client’s financial positions dramatically improved.
Outside of assisting clients, John enjoys spending time with his family, travelling, fishing in his boat and golfing. John is married to Helen and they have two adorable twin boys.

George Malousis
Senior Finance Manager
- DIPLOMA OF FINANCE & MORTGAGE BROKING
- CERTIFICATE IV IN FINANCE AND MORTGAGE BROKING
George has always been around lending from his very first job as a part time filing clerk with National Australia Bank in 1998. He has over 15 years’ experience in lending, and more specifically the most recent 13 years have been in the third party channel (finance broking).
Early in his career George worked as Home Loan specialist with the National Australia Bank, however he felt extremely limited by only having a handful of products to offer clients (and these were limited by the one credit policy guideline).
Using the invaluable experience learned in corporate life, he is now an independent Mortgage Broker with access to dozens of funding providers, and is passionate about matching each client and their family, to a lender that is right for them.
George’s distractions include pushing his motorbike to its limit around Brisbane’s motorsport parks and having some time out with his wife and 2 little kids.
