You must submit this form within 28 days of:

  • the appointment of a new company officeholder
  • the cessation of a company officeholder or
  • an officeholder changing their role within the company.

If you are notifying us of a director cessation that took place more than 28 days ago, the effective date of the director cessation will be replaced with the lodgement date of this form.

If you are ceasing a person both as a director and secretary, this may result in two different cessation dates on our registers.
