The Albanese Government is seeking expressions of interest from financial sector leaders and experts to join the new Financial Innovation Committee.
The Committee will bring together government, regulators and industry to identify and prioritise opportunities to support financial innovation.
The Financial Innovation Committee will strengthen collaboration between Government and industry across Australia's financial system and help to identify where greater cooperation can support innovation and improve policy, regulatory and market outcomes.
Innovation needs the development of new products, services, business models and ways of working that improve outcomes and productivity.
The Committee is an opportunity to make sure innovation delivers better outcomes for consumers, businesses and our economy.
The Committee will share insights on emerging technologies, market developments and capability needs, and consider opportunities for greater regulatory coordination, joint regulatory sandboxes, standards development and other enabling measures.
The Government is looking for experienced leaders who understand emerging technologies and market developments and can bring a broad financial‑system perspective to the table.
Up to nine industry leaders and experts will join representatives from Treasury and financial regulators the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Expressions of interest close 27 November 2026. If you think you fit these criteria and would like to express interest in joining the Committee, please provide a CV and a brief outline of your interest (no more than 250 words) to the Financial Innovation Committee EOI where you can also find further information and the draft Terms of Reference.
