Policy and Advocacy

How we advocate: As the peak industry body for mortgage and finance brokers, we work proactively to drive positive industry change. We engage in roundtables, inquiries, consultations, and submissions to influence decision-making at all levels of government and regulatory bodies.

Industry-led insights: We believe in collaborative advocacy. Our national forums provide a structured platform for brokers, lenders, and aggregators to discuss challenges, shape policy recommendations, and inform our advocacy strategy. Through ongoing consultation, we ensure that our positions reflect the realities of the industry.

Data-driven advocacy: Our advocacy is backed by data and research. The MFAA regularly commissions reports, conducts industry surveys, and analyses market trends to present a strong evidence-based case to policymakers.

Influencing policy outcomes: We make formal submissions to government inquiries, regulatory consultations, and policy discussions, ensuring that the interests of mortgage and finance brokers are represented. These submissions are informed by industry data, member feedback, and expert analysis.

Driving real change: The MFAA has led high-impact advocacy campaigns on issues affecting mortgage brokers, from defending broker commissions to influencing key regulatory reforms. Our efforts have resulted in tangible policy changes that protect the industry and improve outcomes for brokers and consumers alike.

More Australians than ever are choosing a broker to help them navigate the complexities of home financing. Brokers drive competition, choice, and better customer outcomes, reinforcing the importance of a strong and sustainable broking industry.
