Registered Office Services

A registered office is your company’s official legal address on the public ASIC register. It is where ASIC, the ATO, and the courts send formal correspondence and where legal documents can be served. It must be a physical street address in Australia.

Yes. Every company registered under the Corporations Act 2001 must have a registered office in Australia and must keep ASIC informed of the address. The requirement applies for the life of the company.

You can, provided it is a physical Australian address that can reliably receive documents. However, the registered office appears on the public ASIC register, so many directors prefer to use a third-party address like ours to keep their home address private and ensure correspondence is handled professionally.

Your registered office is your official legal and correspondence address, while your principal place of business is where your company actually conducts its activities. They can be the same or different, and both are recorded on the ASIC register. We can act as your registered office regardless of where you operate.

Yes. We provide the written occupier’s consent the law requires, notify ASIC of the appointment, and manage the correspondence that arrives, alerting you and forwarding or scanning it promptly so nothing is missed.  

A document delivered to your registered office during business hours is legally served, whether or not anyone collects it. Missing a statutory demand, ASIC notice, or court document can lead to penalties, default judgments, or even deregistration, which is exactly what a managed registered office is designed to prevent.
