Your organisation’s ABN details are recorded on the Australian Business Register and we use them in dealings with your organisation. The register includes information such as your organisation’s postal address, and it also helps us identify your authorised contact people. It is important that the information we hold is accurate and up-to-date.
As many non-profit organisations elect office bearers for an annual term, their authorised contact people often change from year to year. Please notify us of any changes to your organisation’s registration details. This helps us to protect your organisation’s privacy and provide office bearers with access to the information they need to perform their duties.
We suggest your organisation includes updating the register as an agenda item in its annual general meeting.
If your organisation is a company or unincorporated association carrying on business in Australia, you need to appoint a public officer.
You also need a public officer if your organisation is deriving income in Australia from property (for example, interest, rent or dividends).
The position of public officer must always be filled. Under the law, a change in public officer must be notified within 28 days of your organisation becoming aware of the change.
