What changed
APRA proposes amendments to existing reporting standards for life insurers to reflect the technical migration of data collections from the legacy D2A system to the APRA Connect platform. The changes are intended to ensure consistency between life insurance data collections and other collections already operating within APRA Connect.
Life insurers and other affected entities should review the consultation package and prepare written submissions by 3 July 2026. The amendments primarily affect data reporting processes and system requirements rather than substantive prudential obligations.
