ASFA InPractice
Turning policy into practice - together. Regulation doesn’t end at legislation. That’s where the detailed work begins.
ASFA InPractice (AIP) is ASFA’s technical implementation arm, designed to bridge the gap between regulatory intent and operational reality. It brings superannuation practitioners, funds, administrators and regulators together to deliver consistent, practical, and scalable implementation of change. AIP is a member-led, collaborative service that translates policy into:
- Sector guidance materials and standards
- Controls and governance approaches
- Operational processes
- Data and technology requirements
All designed to be adopted, adapted, and reused across the industry.
What AIP delivers
Practical, consistent and reusable outputs built by the industry, for the industry.
Implementation playbooks
Guidance & standards
Collaborative working groups
Reusable artefact library
Clear transition of regulatory change into actionable plans, impact analysis and templates.
Practical, industry-aligned guidance to reduce ambiguity, close grey areas and promote consistency.
Co-designing solutions with funds, administrators and service providers to ensure real-world relevance.
A growing library of templates, standards and guidance – ready to adopt, adapt and reuse.
