4 November 2026

15:53 - 17:18
Speaker 1
hearing of the Select Committee on Cyber Security for Small to Medium Sized Businesses and Organisations. 

I'm Sally Sitou and I'm the chair of the committee.  I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners on the land on which I'm meeting you from and from where you are all calling in from and pay my respects to the elders past, present, and emerging.  This hearing will be a broadcast on the parliament's website and the proof and official transcripts of the proceedings will be published on the committee's web page.  I remind members of the media who may be present or listening online of the need to fairly and accurately report the proceedings of the committee.  And I now welcome representatives from the Financial Advice Association of Australia and the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner to give evidence today, and thank you as well for the detailed submissions that you've provided. 

For the Hansard record, could you please state your name and the capacity in which you appear before the committee?  And perhaps we can start with representatives from the Financial Advice Association of Australia, and then move to Victorian Legal Services Board.

Thank Thanks very much, I'm Sarah Abood, CEO of the FAAA.
