ASIC has published a summary document regarding its June 2024 industry workshop on servicing First Nations communities with a focus on culture, community and engagement.

The workshop explored insights from financial services industry representatives on existing approaches, and guidance for how industry can develop more meaningful services in remote locations.

It provided context around the unique circumstances and experiences of First Nations consumers living in remote locations and highlighted where organisations had aligned their services with the needs identified by the communities, providing better outcomes.

These workshops have been hosted as part of ASIC’s continued engagement with industry to progress the outcomes identified in ASIC’s Indigenous Financial Services Framework.
