When a company appoints or ceases an officeholder, you'll need to notify ASIC of this change. You can do this by lodging a Form 484 - Changes to company details.
To avoid late fees or penalties, make sure you lodge this form within 28 days of the change occurring.
You can make multiple changes to a company's details in a single transaction. For example, you can cease a director, appoint a new one and transfer shares in a single 484 Form.
If the director, alternate director or secretary retires or resigns from their position, you'll need to lodge a Form 370 - Notification by officeholder of resignation or retirement. Check out Retiring or resigning officeholders (370) for information.
