ASIC Deputy Chair Sarah Court said, “Our 2025 enforcement priorities reflect the increased risks consumers face that are being driven by cost-of-living pressures. These priorities are protecting Australians from financial harm and targeting the people who try to take advantage of them.” 

ASIC’s 2025 enforcement priorities are:  

• Misconduct exploiting superannuation savings  

• Unscrupulous property investment schemes  

• Failures by insurers to deal fairly and in good faith with customers  

• Strengthening investigation and prosecution of insider trading  

• Business models designed to avoid consumer credit protections  

• Misconduct impacting small businesses and their creditors  

• Debt management and collection misconduct  

• Licensee failures to have adequate cyber-security protections  

• Greenwashing and misleading conduct involving ESG claims  

• Member services failures in the superannuation sector  

• Auditor misconduct  

• Used car finance sold to vulnerable consumers by finance providers 

In 2025, ASIC intends to focus on business models designed to avoid consumer credit protections and take action against those engaging in unlawful debt management and collection. It will also target conduct that exploits superannuation savings, focusing on unscrupulous property investment schemes.
