CP 391 Access to information on the companies register
ASIC proposes new settings for who can access company register information, keeping transparency while restricting more sensitive personal data such as director addresses. Affects companies, officeholders, lawyers, accountants, liquidators, brokers and debt collectors.
Submissions are open. They close 12 October 2026.
What it means for business
Consider whether your business relies on bulk register searches, and lodge a submission before 12 October 2026 if restricted access would disrupt it.
What does this mean for your business?
