Federal Election Hub

Our member resource centre for the latest information, updates and developments relating to the Federal Election 2025.

The Federal Election will be held on 3 May 2025. We have outlined five key asks for an incoming government. We are engaging with politicians and other industry stakeholders, including contacting every candidate in Australia to seek their commitment to the key asks. In the lead-up to the election, we are holding a series of Federal Election Financial Services Summits in key electorates around Australia. They will bring together key political decision makers and stakeholders to discuss what needs to be achieved over the next three years to improve accessibility and affordability of financial advice.
