ASIC to launch new portal for Australian financial services licensees

Regulatory
Written By Kate Melville

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is launching a new digital portal for licensing on 5 May 2025 to apply for, vary and cancel an Australian financial services (AFS) licence, marking a significant step in its digital transformation. 
 
The AFS licence portal will provide AFS licensees and applicants with a modern, more efficient, and user-friendly experience in applying for, maintaining, varying, and cancelling licences. 

ASIC Regulatory Guides 1 – 3 (known as the AFS Licensing Kit) will be updated when the portal is launched to reflect the design and functionality changes. The policy settings in these regulatory guides will not be changed.
