The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) was a member-funded Australian ombudsman service that provided external dispute resolution for consumers who were unable to resolve complaints with member financial services organisations. The FOS was led by the Chief Ombudsman, David Locke. He is supported by lead ombudsmen for banking and finance, general insurance, and investment and advice; with ten other ombudsmen supporting various functional areas and disputes. The Financial Ombudsman Service was superseded in 2018 by the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
