Australian Financial Security Authority

The Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) manages the application of bankruptcy and personal property securities laws to ensure confidence in Australia's personal insolvency and personal property securities systems. We do this by taking a strong and balanced approach to regulation. We deliver high-quality regulatory administration and practice by administering bankruptcies and other personal insolvency arrangements, providing information and supporting clients using the PPSR, and managing and disposing of criminal assets on behalf of the Commonwealth. In delivering these functions, we create an environment in which businesses and the community can properly assess financial risk and make informed financial decisions.
