Australia’s Scam Prevention Framework | What’s Working. What’s Missing and What Comes Next

Australia made history in 2025 when it passed the Scam Prevention Framework — the world's first legislation requiring banks, telecom providers, and digital platforms to implement scam controls or face fines of up to A$50 million. But nearly a year later, significant questions remain unanswered, and the July 2026 launch date is looking increasingly uncertain. 

Join Regulatory Expert & Online Fraud Prevention SME, Ken Palla and Anurag Mohapatra, Director of Product Marketing and Fraud Strategy at NICE Actimize for a candid look at where the Australian SPF stands today — and what it means for financial institutions globally. We'll unpack the framework's six core pillars, examine the gaps in the current Treasury consultancy, and compare the Australian model to the UK's reimbursement-led approach. We'll also explore why other countries have chosen prevention over reimbursement, and what the global regulatory trajectory means for banks preparing their scam prevention programs right now. 

Whether you're in Australia navigating SPF compliance or a fraud leader watching this space from the US, UK, or Asia-Pacific, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
