28884 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: What uncertainty, if any, does the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Amendment Bill create for industry?
Hon Scott Simpson: The Bill changes who the industry is regulated by and changes important aspects of the regulatory model, including by replacing the certification requirement with a licensing model. This means a new relationship between industry and their regulator and potentially different ways they will be expected to demonstrate compliance with the Act.
