The Australian Banking Association (ABA) is also the information source for the news media on the Australian banking industry by providing information, analysis, and context on industry issues.

The ABA's stated goal is to advocate and promote policies for improvements and development of the banking industry through advocacy, research, policy expertise, and thought leadership.

In 2020, under the CEO Anna Bligh, the ABA's public profile has risen due to the industry's response to Australia's "Black Summer" fires, and collective measures to help cushion the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
