About the professional registers

ASIC maintains registers of various professionals. You can search several registers at once using the professional registers search. You can access information about professionals registered or licensed by ASIC.

Before you choose a professional, you may want to search the professional registers to:

• check the professional is registered or licensed
• check the services they are licensed to provide.

Our professional registers include information on:

• Australian financial services (AFS) licensees
• AFS authorised representatives
• credit licensees
• credit representatives
• registered auditors and authorised audit companies
• registered and official liquidators
• registered managed investment schemes
• approved self-managed super fund (SMSF) auditors.

Information about financial advisers is available on Moneysmart’s financial advisers register.

We process changes to the professional registers once a day. A timestamp shows when they were last updated.
