Purpose
Form 432 is used by certain limited public companies, such as registered charities, to apply to omit ‘Limited’ from their name.
This type of application is only available to a company that, in accordance with s150(1) of the Corporations Act 2001, is:
- registered under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Act 2012, and
- its constitution prohibits the company paying fees to its directors and requires the directors to approve all other payments the company makes to its directors.
Note: Under s148(2) of the Corporations Act 2001, the exemption available to a limited public company permitting omission of the word 'Limited' (at the end of its name) is not available to a limited proprietary company. Section 148(2) states: "A limited public company must have the word "Limited" at the end of its name unless section 150 or 151 applies. A limited proprietary company must have the words Proprietary Limited at the end of its name."
