As outlined in APRA’s Corporate Plan published in August 2025, APRA will transition D2A collections to APRA Connect by the end of 2027.
Industry was informed of this change via a webinar held on 19 March 2025. A recording of the session is available on APRA’s website.
APRA is in the process migrating D2A collection to APRA Connect to streamline and simplify the reporting process while also eliminating the need to use dedicated software when filing a return. For non- regulated entities to continue to meet their reporting obligations, they will be required to transition to APRA Connect.
What is changing
Submission Portal – this change only impacts the how you submit the data to APRA. Entities will now be required to use APRA Connect instead of D2A to submit their data to APRA. Please note that APRA is not considering any changes to reporting forms or reporting requirements as part of this migration.
