What the instrument provided
The instrument provided relief allowing a group of related managed investment schemes to lodge a single combined financial report and a single combined sustainability report. Without this relief, separate reports would be required for each individual scheme.
Period of operation
The instrument was in force from 19 May 2026 to 17 September 2026. The instrument was repealed on 17 September 2026.
Scope and conditions
The source document does not specify which types of managed investment schemes qualify for this relief, nor does it detail any conditions or thresholds that applied.
Key actions
- Operators and administrators of related managed investment schemes that lodged combined reports under this instrument can check whether a replacement instrument is now in force at legislation.gov.au by searching for Related Scheme Reports, given this instrument was repealed on 17 September 2026.
- Contact ASIC or a legal adviser to confirm what reporting obligations now apply to related schemes after the repeal of this instrument on 17 September 2026.
- Monitor the Federal Register of Legislation at legislation.gov.au for any successor instrument that continues or replaces this combined-reporting relief.
