Overview
ASIC has published its 2025-26 Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS), which sets out estimated regulatory levies for each of its 52 regulated subsectors.
Total estimated costs
Total estimated recoverable costs for 2025-26 are $400.5 million, up 19% from $337.6 million in 2024-25. ASIC states the increase reflects additional funding for its regulatory, supervision and enforcement work, plus the timing of expenditure.
These figures are estimates
The amounts published in the CRIS are estimates only. Final levy amounts will be published by ASIC in December 2026. Invoices will be sent to regulated entities between January and March 2027.
Who the CRIS covers
The CRIS covers entities regulated by ASIC across 52 subsectors, including holders of an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), Australian Credit Licence (ACL), registered managed investment schemes, credit licensees, financial advisers, and mortgage brokers.
