Section 354 — Corporations Act 2001: Telephone notice of certain changes

(1) ASIC may, in its discretion, accept telephone notice of a change to a particular in relation to a company or a registered scheme if: (a) either: (i) the change relates to a misspelling or other minor typographical error; or (ii) the change is to a particular included on a list published by ASIC on the internet for the purposes of this section; and (b) the notice satisfies the authentication requirements published by ASIC on the internet for the purposes of this section. (2) If ASIC accepts telephone notice of a change to a particular under subsection (1), any obligation elsewhere in this Act to lodge a prescribed form in relation to the change is satisfied by the telephone notice. However, this does not affect the company’s or the scheme’s liability for late lodgment fees incurred before the notice is given or continuing offences committed before that time.
