Simplification update: email lodgement now enabled for almost all paper forms

Published

ASIC continues to make it easier for customers to meet their obligations, with email lodgement now enabled for 97% of paper-based forms following the latest release.

This builds on earlier updates, where around 70% of ASIC’s paper lodgements were enabled for email following releases in 2025 and March 2026. Our website has a complete list of forms that can be lodged by email.

The latest release in June enabled a further 42 forms (including sub-forms), representing more than 32,000 annual lodgements. Key forms included span a range of common interactions, including:

  • company reinstatements
  • correction types not available online
  • appoint a contact address
  • foreign company accounts
  • court orders
  • notice of resolution types not available online.

Postal lodgement remains available where preferred.

What this means for customers

Customers can choose to lodge eligible forms by email, offering faster turnaround times supported by reduced manual handling.

This release marks another practical step in ASIC’s simplification agenda, reducing administrative burden while helping to modernise how interactions with ASIC are managed.
