CDPF Limited acts as sponsor with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) of the Catholic Development Funds (CDF), which provides an opportunity for Church bodies to have their funds deposited and managed as an internal treasury arrangement. Through CDPF’s sponsorship arrangement with ASIC, CDFs are able to receive exemptions from requirements that would otherwise apply under the Corporations Act.

CDPF plays an important role in ensuring compliance by CDFs with requirements of ASIC for the purpose of granting exemptions from the provisions of legislation as well as maintaining such registrations, records and information as may be required.
