When a company or officer changes their address, they'll need to notify ASIC by completing a Change a company's details 484 Form.

To avoid any fees or penalties, this form should be lodged within 28 days of the change occurring.

You can lodge Form 484 to make changes to the following address types:

  • Registered office—the address ASIC send your company correspondence to. This address can be the same as company's principal place of business, but it can't be a PO box.
  • Principal place of business—the main address where you conduct business. This address can't be a PO box.
  • Officeholder or Member residential address—When appointing a director, alternate director, secretary or issuing shares to a member, you need to provide ASIC their residential address. If this address changes, ASIC must also be notified. The address can't be a PO box.
To change the company address
  1. Open the form.
  2. From the Notification of company changes - Form 484 page, select Change of address. The Change of address options appear.
  3. Type the new address in the New address field. A list of valid address suggestions appear.
