ASIC Indigenous Advisory Group
The ASIC Indigenous Advisory Group (IAG) was established in 2023 as a dedicated forum to allow ASIC to continue to build our understanding of the needs, experiences and priorities of First Nations consumers when engaging with the financial system.
In turn, this allows ASIC to prioritise, elevate and position First Nations peoples’ views and experiences as part of our regulatory role, strategic priorities and operational activities.
The IAG provides advice, guidance and insights on key challenges, emerging themes and community priorities for First Nations consumers and communities, consistent with ASIC’s statutory mandate, and with a focus on activities and stakeholders regulated by ASIC.
ASIC holds meetings of its IAG on a quarterly basis.
