Financial Literacy Board

The Australian Government Financial Literacy Board is a non-statutory body that provides advice to government and ASIC on financial literacy issues.

The Board comprises 13 members who are appointed by the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation for a term of 3 years.

Members are appointed in their own right, rather than as representatives of particular organisations, and volunteer their services. Leaders in their respective fields, they are committed to and bring expertise in financial literacy. They must make formal declarations regarding any conflict of interest.

The Board meets quarterly. The meetings provide an opportunity to discuss financial literacy initiatives as they relate to business, education and the community sector.
