Company Positions

Director - The person or people who have day-to-day control of the company.

Secretary - The person who makes sure the company complies with regulatory rules.

Public Officer - The person nominated to deal with a company's tax matters.

In practice in small business, these three roles are often filled by the same single person.

Before becoming a director, you should make yourself aware of the legal responsibilities that come with the role.

You will also need a special ID number before you can become a director. Find out how to apply for one below.



Shareholders

The shareholders of a company are the people who own it. They are in charge of appointing the director and are entitled to receive the profits of the company. As a matter of course we will generally issue 120 ordinary $1.00 shares for a private company unless given other specific instructions.

Addresses

ASIC require us to list a business address and a registered address for your company. Your business adress is where your company actually trades (usually your shop, office or home). Your registered address is where ASIC can send important documents. Generally companies for our clients will use our office as their registed address.
