Play a pivotal role in driving and shaping the Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) program to promote financial stability, at the centre of collaboration across RBA, APRA, ASIC and Treasury.

About the Department

The RBA Financial Stability Department’s overarching purpose is to enhance the resilience of the Australian financial system, with a vision to be an open and dynamic department, trusted for its analysis and policy advice. Our strategy comprises six key priorities which form an exciting work program: assessing financial stability, building crisis readiness, understanding financial stability-monetary policy interactions, working with the CFR to address systemic risks, partnering with peers, and strengthening our key enablers.

About the Council of Financial Regulators (CFR)

The Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) is the main coordinating body for Australia’s financial regulators. It comprises the RBA, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Treasury. The CFR facilitates cooperation and collaboration across member agencies, with the ultimate aim of promoting the stability of the Australian financial system and supporting effective and efficient regulation.

The CFR delivers a critical program of initiatives to address the highest priority risks and challenges facing the Australian financial system, operating through a range of inter-agency groups and meetings. The CFR Heads meet quarterly (the RBA Governor, the APRA Chair, the ASIC Chair and the Treasury Secretary). The Governor chairs the CFR, and the RBA provides the secretariat and coordinates the program.
