Requests for visits to ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ by foreign delegations

ASIC will usually only accept delegations from international organisations, foreign regulators and law enforcement agencies. However, we do consider requests from non-government or non-regulatory agencies in exceptional circumstances.

Requests for visits to ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ require detailed topics for discussion and/or questions. We will generally not provide an overview of ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥'s functions and/or the Australian regulatory system.

Any meetings arranged will usually be of one to two hours duration with each relevant operational area. ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ will not accommodate visits for several days duration other than in exceptional circumstances.

ASIC will identify the appropriate staff to meet with your delegation. ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ Commission members are not usually available to meet with foreign delegations seeking operational information.

What to include with your request

ASIC will not ordinarily deal with your request until it also receives the following information:

  • details of requesting entity, including:
    • name of agency
    • country/jurisdiction
    • contact person and position title
    • address
  • telephone, facsimile, email
  • specific topics you want to discuss with ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥
  • date of proposed visit
  • names of people who will be attending
  • purpose of the proposed visit
  • list of other organisations will you be visiting on this trip to Australia
  • whether this is a government-funded or privately-sponsored visit
  • particulars (including dates) of any other recent visits to ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ by members of your organisation.

Please submit your request at least four weeks prior to your proposed visit. This will help us prepare for your visit by arranging for appropriate ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ staff to be available to meet with you. Shorter notice periods may mean we are less likely to be able to meet with you.

ASIC will let you know if we are able to meet with you within 10 days of receiving your completed request.
