I also request access to documents held by ASIC which set out, describe, or refer to expected processing times, service standards, assessment timeframes, target timeframes, decision-making processes, internal policies for assessing applications to become an ASIC information broker and reporting against timelines and policies

This FOI release concerns ASIC's information broker application process and the RegistryConnect program. It comprises a web page stating applications are paused until 2026, a quarterly table of applications received from July 2023 to June 2026 (12 received in total, 2 approved, 9 pending, 1 rejected or withdrawn), a status definitions sheet, a draft email to paused applicants, and a December 2025 pause notice. The pause is attributed to upgrades replacing the legacy DataStream service. Timelines given include free search APIs by mid-2026, paid searches and broker onboarding features by end of 2026, and priority for existing applicants. No enforcement action, penalties or remediation are disclosed. The release does not include the internal processing-time standards or assessment policies requested, and none are referenced beyond the staged rollout timeline.
