Affordable compliance admin that keeps going when staff change or work gets busy
Nobody can say what is outstanding across the group
Review dates sit in one system, officeholder changes in another, and the share registers in a folder. Answering "are we compliant?" takes a week of asking.
Hiring in-house is expensive and hard to justify
A full-time corporate secretarial hire costs six figures, takes months to recruit, and rarely fills a full workload. When they leave you are back to the start.
The registered office has to be a real address
ASIC requires a physical street address in Australia, not a PO box, and written consent from the occupier where the company does not occupy the premises itself.
Every new entity adds another set of deadlines
One restructure, one new subsidiary or one director change multiplies the obligations. What started as a single company becomes a portfolio to track.
The deadlines we track, and how long you have for each
Every entity in your group has the same recurring obligations. We keep the calendar, start each item well before it is due, and give you one place to see where everything stands. Each item is dated and backed by evidence, so you can show what was done and when.
Annual review statement
Two monthsASIC issues the statement on the company’s review date. The review fee and the directors’ solvency resolution both run on a two-month window from that date. We open the file in the first fortnight, not the last week.
Officeholder appointments and resignations
28 daysConsent to act obtained and held, director ID verified, Form 484 lodged and the officeholder register updated. Notification runs 28 days from the change.
Registered office and principal place of business
28 daysA physical street address in Australia, with written occupier consent held on file where the company does not occupy the premises itself. Changes notified within 28 days.
Share issues, transfers and cancellations
28 daysShare structure changes notified within 28 days, certificates issued, and the member register reconciled against the ASIC record rather than assumed to match.
Constitution and company name changes
By resolutionSpecial resolution minuted, then lodged inside the statutory window. We prepare the resolution as well as the lodgement, so the paperwork and the filing agree.
