The Australian Banking Association (ABA) acts as the trade body for the banking industry, representing member banks by providing advice, analysis, and advocacy to the government, regulators, and the public. Its work includes developing public policy on financial services, enhancing consumer protection through initiatives like the Banking Code of Practice, and helping to build a strong and stable financial system.
The ABA also serves as a key source of information for media on industry issues and supports community resilience through initiatives like natural disaster assistance.
