SMSF Association Submission – CSLR Exceeding the Sub Sector Levy Caps

SMSF Association Submission

The SMSF Association welcomes the opportunity to provide this submission to the Treasury
consultation on the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort: exceeding sub-sector levy caps.


The SMSF Association supports the objective of the compensation scheme of last resort
(CSLR). Consumers should have access to financial compensation where they suffer a financial loss from poor or negligent financial advice. They should have trust and confidence that awarded compensation claims will be paid, and in a timely manner.


It is therefore necessary to consider the options available to fund efficiently and effectively the
estimated $47,288,986 that will exceed the $20 million sub-sector cap for unpaid AFCA
determinations for the 2025/26 financial year.
