What we do

ASIC is Australia's integrated corporate, markets, financial services and consumer credit regulator.

ASIC industry funding

Key points:

  • ASIC’s regulatory costs are paid by the subsectors we regulate through industry funding levies and fees for service.
  • There is an annual cycle for calculating and paying industry funding levies.
  • Fees for services are set out in regulations.
  • If you are regulated by ASIC, you may need to submit business activity metrics on the ASIC Regulatory Portal.

ASIC’s regulatory costs

Under the ASIC industry funding model, our budget is determined by the Australian Government. This budget covers our regulatory costs.

We recover these costs from the industry sectors we regulate through a combination of:

  • industry funding levies
  • fees for service.

Read about how the industry funding model works.

Industry funding levies

At the end of each financial year, we publish estimated costs and levies for each subsector in the Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS). This forms the basis of industry funding levies charged to the 52 regulated subsectors.

Update July 2026: We have issued the CRIS for the 2025–26 financial year. Read the Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS).

Levies are then finalised based on actual costs. For a summary of actual levies for each financial year, see Regulatory costs and levies.

Fees for service

Fees for service are user initiated. That means stakeholders are charged when they lodge certain regulatory forms and requests with ASIC and we provide a specific service to individual entities.

The amounts are set out in the Cost Recovery Levy Regulations.
