Australian Budget 2026: New Caps, New Rules and Your Next Move

Australian Budget 2026: New Caps, New Rules and Your Next Move

The private capital rules in Australia have changed. A month on, the dust has settled — is your fund set up for what's next?

Australia's financial ecosystem is robust and highly regulated, making it a compelling yet complex market for fund managers. The 2026-27 Federal Budget, handed down in May, has created both new opportunity and obligation for fund managers at every stage.

Watch as our expert panel breaks down the regulatory essentials and translates the Budget's biggest changes into decisions you can act on. This session draws on our new Australia Private Fund Regulatory Playbook, co-authored by Gilbert + Tobin and Alvarez & Marsal — our up-to-date guide to operational success and compliance.

Here’s what we cover:

• Key regulatory and tax changes from the 2026-27 Federal Budget and what they mean for fund managers

• How to strategically navigate fund structure, licensing, and capital raising decisions

• Expert perspectives on compliance priorities and what to act on before key deadlines
