Requests for visits to ´óÏóÊÓƵby foreign delegations

´óÏóÊÓƵwill usually only accept delegations from international organisations, foreign regulators and law enforcement agencies. However, we do consider requests from non-government or non-regulatory agencies in exceptional circumstances.

Requests for visits to ´óÏóÊÓƵrequire detailed topics for discussion and/or questions. We will generally not provide an overview of ASIC's functions and/or the Australian regulatory system.

Any meetings arranged will usually be of one to two hours duration with each relevant operational area. ´óÏóÊÓƵwill not accommodate visits for several days duration other than in exceptional circumstances.

´óÏóÊÓƵwill identify the appropriate staff to meet with your delegation. ´óÏóÊÓƵCommission members are not usually available to meet with foreign delegations seeking operational information.

What to include with your request

´óÏóÊÓƵwill not ordinarily deal with your request until it also receives the following information:

• details of requesting entity, including:
  • name of agency
  • country/jurisdiction
  • contact person and position title
  • address
• telephone, facsimile, email
• specific topics you want to discuss with ASIC
• date of proposed visit
• names of people who will be attending
• purpose of the proposed visit
• list of other organisations will you be visiting on this trip to Australia
• whether this is a government-funded or privately-sponsored visit
• particulars (including dates) of any other recent visits to ´óÏóÊÓƵby members of your organisation.

Please submit your request at least four weeks prior to your proposed visit. This will help us prepare for your visit by arranging for appropriate ´óÏóÊÓƵstaff to be available to meet with you. Shorter notice periods may mean we are less likely to be able to meet with you.

´óÏóÊÓƵwill let you know if we are able to meet with you within 10 days of receiving your completed request.
