Mark Maddern

Hi, I’m Mark Maddern, a Financial Planner and Wealth Coach based on the Mornington Peninsula.

With more than a decade of experience and thousands of client conversations behind me, I’ve helped individuals and families gain clarity, confidence and control over their financial futures. Over the years, I’ve noticed a common trend: many Australians who would benefit from quality financial advice either don’t recognise when they need it, feel they don’t have enough to seek help or simply put it off until it becomes overwhelming.

I created Drakkar Group to change that.

My mission is to simplify the financial world by cutting through the noise, jargon and constant regulatory changes, and to empower everyday Australians to make smarter decisions and live the lives they truly want. Through personalised financial planning, coaching and education, I help clients understand their options, protect what matters and build wealth with purpose.

I hold extensive experience across investment markets, personal insurance, superannuation, SMSFs, Centrelink entitlements and corporate superannuation structures. My advice combines technical expertise with a practical, down-to-earth approach that puts clients first.

Outside of work, I’m a proud husband and dad to two young boys. When I’m not with family, you will usually find me fishing, hiking or heading out for the occasional hunting trip. I’m also passionate about martial arts, holding a 5th Dan black belt in Shito Ryu Shukokai Karate, a 2nd Dan in Koryu Uchinadi and a 2nd Dan in Yamane Ryu Kobudo. Years of training have shaped my discipline, consistency and commitment to lifelong learning, qualities I bring to both my practice and my clients.
