Buy now pay later exposure draft materials
Submission to: Treasury
Our organisations have long advocated for BNPL to be regulated as a credit product under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (NCCPA), and so we welcome the major step towards achieving this outcome that the Exposure Draft materials (ED Materials) represent. We urge the Government to finalise this legislation as a matter of priority to ensure that the framework is passed this year.

Cost of Living
Submission to: Senate Select Committee on the Cost of Living
This submission describes the cost of living pressures facing people seeking financial counselling support, which is showing up in increasing demand for financial counselling. The rising cost of living has a disproportionate affect on people with the least economic resources. The submission recommends further increases in the rates of JobSeeker and pension payments to prevent poverty, reviewing the supermarket unit pricing code to help people make informed shopping choices, regulation of Buy Now, Pay Later providers and wage advance products under the credit laws, waiving of persistent credit card debts by financial institutions and adequate funding for financial counselling.
