ACL Responsible Manager Workshop – Sydney

Strengthen Your Oversight. Sharpen Your Compliance. Stay Ahead of ASIC.

In-person Workshop | Sydney | Wednesday 12 August 2026

Responsible Managers play a critical role in ensuring Australian Credit Licensees meet their obligations under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and ASIC’s regulatory expectations.

As regulatory scrutiny continues to intensify, Responsible Managers are expected to demonstrate not only technical competence, but also effective governance, oversight and accountability.

The ACL Responsible Manager Workshop is a practical, interactive, in-person workshop designed specifically for Responsible Managers and senior credit professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of their obligations, explore recent regulatory developments, and gain practical strategies they can immediately apply within their organisations.

Delivered by respected consumer credit compliance specialist David Carson, this workshop provides practical insights drawn from decades of experience working with ASIC, lenders, brokers and credit providers.

Whether you’re newly appointed or an experienced Responsible Manager looking to satisfy your annual CPD obligations under ASIC Regulatory Guide 206 (RG206), this workshop will help you remain compliant, confident and future ready.
