APRA to end Alternate Submission Process for ADIs and RFCs

APRA announced end dates for the Alternate Submission Process, requiring ADIs and RFCs to submit migrated returns solely via APRA Connect.

APRA is completing the transition of ADI and RFC regulatory reporting to APRA Connect by withdrawing the Alternate Submission Process. Entities still using the fallback must migrate before the specified first affected reporting periods to avoid submission failures.

Operational risk for regulatory reporting: any residual reliance on legacy submission channels creates a risk of non-submission or late lodgement.

Regulatory reporting continuity is a core compliance obligation; loss of fallback channel elevates operational risk.

“APRA is writing to provide notice of the dates from which the Alternate Submission Process will no longer be available for ADI reporting collections migrated to APRA Connect, confirming the first reporting periods for mandatory APRA Connect submission.”
