Australian Financial Services Licensee Register With Weekly Updates

ASIC's weekly updated register of Australian Financial Services Licensees includes licensee name, AFS licence number, issue date, business address, and licence conditions. The dataset is a public snapshot from the regulator's official records, maintained by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Use Cases

• Map licensee geographic distribution using latitude and longitude coordinates with principal business state/territory.
• Analyze licensing trends over time using the date licence was issued field.
• Categorize regulatory constraints by parsing the licence conditions text for different entities.
• Link business entities by matching ABN/ACN/ARBN identifiers across other corporate datasets.

Strengths

• Data is updated weekly, ensuring current regulatory information.
• Published by the authoritative national regulator, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
• Includes precise geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) for spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Unknown row and column counts prevent assessment of dataset scale and completeness.
• Data is a point-in-time snapshot; historical changes or time-series analysis may require joining multiple weekly files.
• Public disclosure is limited by legislation, potentially omitting some licensee information.
