Working Group Mandate
This group focuses on payment rails, digital banking, and the growing role of stablecoins in financial infrastructure. It aims to strengthen collaboration between digital asset providers, fintechs, and financial institutions.
Leadership Team
DECA’s Working Groups are led by experienced industry practitioners who bring deep subject matter expertise and a strong understanding of Australia’s regulatory, commercial, and technical landscape.
Working Group leaders guide discussion, set priorities in line with each group’s mandate, and help translate industry insight into practical outcomes. They work closely with the DECA team to ensure member perspectives inform advocacy, policy engagement, education initiatives, and broader ecosystem development.
Leadership roles are focused on stewardship and coordination, supporting constructive collaboration across members, regulators, government, and the wider digital economy.
