New dashboard for Australian financial services (AFS) Licensees

ASIC has launched a new AFS licensing dashboard within the ASIC Regulatory Portal designed to provide a more efficient, modern and user-friendly experience for AFS licensees and applicants.

AFS licensees will need to note the following:

  • As of 13 June 2025, access to the eLicensing system to lodge any AFS new or variation applications or notifications is no longer be available.  
  • From 16 June 2025, all AFS licence transactions – including apply, vary, cancel and maintain – must be submitted on the Regulatory Portal. Anyone seeking access or submitting an AFS transaction through the Regulatory Portal will need to register first
  • Any application or notification started but not submitted in the eLicensing system before 13 June 2025 must be restarted and submitted in the Regulatory Portal. 
  • AFS licensees must still use the eLicensing system to lodge applications to register managed investment schemes and PDS in-use notices. 
  • Credit licence applications and applications relating to registered company auditors also continue to be made in the eLicensing system. 

The majority of transactions previously completed through the AFS licensees portal are now to be completed through the Regulatory Portal.

You must now use the Regulatory Portal to apply for a new or varied AFS licence, to cancel or suspend a licence, to notify of changes of licensee details, changes to responsible manager details and changes of control, appointment of auditors and to submit annual financial statements.

The AFS licensees portal is still to be used to lodge PDS notifications and applications for registration of managed investment schemes.

To appoint financial advisers and authorised representatives to an AFS licence or update the details of financial advisers and authorised representatives online, see Financial advisers and authorised representatives.
