FSC Guidance Notes

FSC Guidance Notes provide practical guidance and support industry best practice across Australia's financial services sector. While compliance with Guidance Notes is voluntary, FSC strongly encourages members and industry participants to adopt these frameworks to support consistency, transparency and high standards of governance and consumer outcomes. In some cases, Guidance Notes may evolve into formal FSC Standards over time. Below you can access the FSC's current Guidance Notes, along with links to FSC Standards and archived Guidance Notes that have since been repealed can also be found here.
