I haven't ever used a personal broker but if your friend is interested in buying the shares and assuming the risk, it's quite easy to set up an account through selfwealth or commsec, etc. It's as easy as opening a bank account online, and then just place a limit order with the price they are happy for and amount of shares they're after. Not sure how old your friend is or if they struggle with technology, and if that's the case hopefully they have a younger relative who can help set it up for them, and additionally I've found commsec very good with customer assistance over the phone.

Hope this helps!
