Missed the Director ID deadline? Now What?

If you missed the 30 November 2022 deadline for obtaining a Director ID, the Australian Business Registry Services have stated that they will not take action against directors that apply for their ID by 14 December 2022.

If you are required to but have not yet applied for your ID, you should seek an extension immediately to avoid fines and penalties applying (https://www.abrs.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-10/Application_for_an_extension_of_time_to_apply_for_a_director_ID.pdf), or contact the ABRS on 13 62 50 (+61 2 6216 3440 outside of Australia).
