Divisions of APRA

APRA has an industry-based supervision model, with separate frontline supervision teams responsible for general insurance, life insurance, private health insurance, superannuation and banking. Frontline supervision conducts financial and risk analysis with data-driven insights collected as part of APRA’s statistical collections, and regular contact with regulated financial services institutions including onsite reviews.

In terms of how APRA is organised internally:

• general insurance and banking are grouped together in one division
• life insurance, private health insurance and superannuation are grouped together in another division.

These areas of frontline supervision are complemented by those in the Cross-industry Risk division. Cross-industry Risk brings together risk and system specialists who assist frontline in supervising entities and identifying risks and trends across industries and the financial system as a whole. Risks classes considered in this area include financial risk, operational and cyber security risk, climate risk and governance, as well as thematic and system-wide work including stress-testing, macroprudential policy and geopolitical risk. 

The Policy and Advice division ensures that APRA's frontline supervisors have the best possible tools to support them in their risk analysis and supervisory interventions. This division consists of Legal Services, Policy, Advice and Approvals, Resolution and Licensing.

The Technology and Data division is responsible for APRA’s core data capabilities including data management, data collection, design, business and enterprise data reporting and data governance. The team also manages APRA’s day-to-day technology operations.

The Chief of Staff and Enterprise Services division is responsible for key stakeholder management and integrated communications to internal and external audiences, as well as providing corporate shared services functions that assist other areas of APRA to achieve its strategic objectives. The division consists of Corporate Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Strategy, Governance, People and Culture, Finance, and Project and Portfolio Management functions.

The Internal Audit team advises on managing risk across all of APRA, with an independent reporting line to the Audit Committee and direct access to the APRA Members and Executive Board.

The Risk team considers and coordinates risk management across APRA, with an independent reporting line to the Audit and Risk Committee and APRA Deputy Chair.
