Company Changes

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) must be notified whenever there is a change to company officers or their addresses as well as any change to the registered office or business address of a company. 

We have enclosed the appropriate form(s) and associated documentation to advise ASIC about the recent change(s) to your company details.  Please arrange for these forms to be signed where indicated by the nominated company officer and return them to our office as soon as possible for lodgment with ASIC within the allowed time. 

Importantly, ASIC must be notified of any changes to company details within 28 days of the change, otherwise late fees will apply.

We have also enclosed an invoice for our fees in attending to this matter on your behalf.  If there is anything you would like to discuss, please contact our office.
