This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument replaces APRA's 2021 glossary with an updated, mandatory set of standardized definitions that superannuation trustees (RSE licensees) must use when reporting to APRA. It covers technical terms across insurance, investments, fees, expenses and service‑provider relationships to ensure consistent data across the $3+ trillion superannuation system.
It takes effect for reporting periods ending on or after 30 June 2023, enabling comparable oversight of fund performance, costs and member outcomes.
