Ayling is currently a part-owner and principal financial planner at Fortunity, a Premium member firm, which is based on the New South Wales central coast.
He started in the financial planning industry about 10 years ago and his previous experience includes jobs at Colonial State Bank and Perpetual.
"I am looking forward to making a meaningful contribution to the Premium board," he said.
"There are many challenges facing licensees in the current environment, however, Premium is well placed and we are looking forward to significant growth over the next 12 months.
"Premium has a non-prescriptive approach with our members and aims to provide an attractive model for mature financial planning practices."
