The initial levy to fund claims under the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CASLR) is being proposed at $241 million.

The levy, which will initially be funded by the 10 largest banking and insurance groups, has been determined by the CSLR board.

In a formal statement issued today the board said it had provided $241 million as the estimate of the cost of meeting compensation claims and costs in relation to complaints that were lodged with AFCA between 1 November 2018 and & September 2022.

It noted that this falls within the annual cap of $250 million.

The announcement from the board noted that the Federal Parliament is capable of disallowing the levy.

Bet it doesn’t cover Dixon’s claims in full.
Bet AFCA deal with less than 5% of Dixon’s claims before it falls on Adviser funding.
GO AND GET STUFFED CANBERRA!!!!
ENOUGH IS WAY BEYOND ENOUGH.
