If a brokerage company has regulation, then it's fine. Because usually the regulator provides insurance of certain amounts in case traders lose money through the fault of the brokerage company. The only limitation is that they do not compensate very large amounts, but in the range of 10-20 thousand dollars they usually do.

I read somewhere that ASIC protests only Aussie funds. If an Australian (forex) broker becomes insolvent how does ASIC regulations make sure foreign client gets their deposits?
As an "offshore trader" you're not allowed to use ASIC-regulated brokers anymore (since January 2020).
If there's any broker out there who's still offering his ASIC-regulated forex services to offshore-clients, then just stay away.
Always look for a regulation that is still allowed in your area (like NFA for USA; Cysec/FCA/BaFin/ICB/FinMa ... for Europe, ASIC for Australia, FCA for UK, IFSC for all other offshore traders).
patience is the key

You can make a complaint in writing or by phone through ASIC official website. You also find a video tutorial in their website regarding how to complain.

Since January 2020 ASIC/AFC regulated brokers are NOT allowed to onboard foreign clients anymore. Such brokers need to give you an account in your regulated territory then (like ESMA/Cysec for the whole EU, CTFC/NFA for USA, IFSC for offshore, FCA for UK, or similar).
