Early draft — not independently reviewed

This is a work in progress shared for feedback. The summaries, responsibility categories and topic matching have not been verified by a compliance expert and may contain errors or omissions. Check the linked sources and confirm requirements with your AFSL compliance team before acting. This guide is not legal advice or a compliance assessment.

Expert content review: pending. Source link checks: dated separately below; these check the destination only, not the accuracy of our explanations or whether all applicable law is covered.

Understanding the draft categories

These are working descriptions to help you browse. The allocation of legal responsibility needs expert review.

  • Direct AR: entries describing a possible duty on the representative or service provider.
  • Licensee-led: entries describing the licensee’s responsibilities and oversight.
  • Shared: entries describing activities involving both the AR and its network.

Coverage and review

  • This initial directory focuses on selected Chapter 7 and ASIC topics for GI ARs.
  • Other laws, industry codes, licence conditions, AR agreements and network procedures may also matter.
  • Linked legislation and regulator guidance have different legal status. Our summaries are separate, unverified interpretations.
  • Source link dates record destination checks only. Source currency, exceptions and completeness still need checking.
