Australia’s finance minister the Hon Katy Gallagher MP visited the offices of the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) last week to meet with the association’s national executive team.

FBAA managing director Peter White AM said the meeting was an opportunity to discuss policy that impacts the industry and to help the minister gain a better understanding of the important work undertaken by finance and mortgage brokers.

“We covered a wide range of issues including challenges with regulation in several areas, housing, and even issues that related to her role as minister for women,” Mr White said.

“While I speak regularly with senior ministers in my role, this was a wonderful opportunity for our entire executive team to be able to both hear from her and provide input on issues that are important to brokers across Australia.”

“To have such a senior minister came and spend an hour and a half with the group is testimony to the work done by the FBAA and the level of top-end engagement we have with Government, as well as the respect they have for our association and the industry.”
