About the Financial Services Council

The FSC is a peak industry body for the Australian wealth industry, representing more than 130 member companies in one of Australia's largest industry sectors. We work with our members, government and regulators to shape policy, legislation and regulation to support a strong, transparent and globally competitive industry. The FSC also sets mandatory industry-led Standards. Our Full Members represent Australia's retail and wholesale funds management businesses, superannuation funds, and financial advice licensees.

FSC Supporters represent the professional services firms such as ICT, consulting, accounting, legal, recruitment, actuarial and research houses.

The FSC Associate category provides support for boutique fund managers to access industry tools.

The financial services industry is responsible for investing more than $4 trillion on behalf of over 16.9 million Australians. The pool of funds under management is larger than Australia’s GDP and the capitalisation of the Australian Securities Exchange and is one of the largest pools of managed funds in the world.
