ASIC has announced that company extracts purchased through the ASIC website will no longer contain the residential addresses of company officeholders.

ASIC says it implemented this change in response to broader privacy and safety concerns, including the potential to access personal information, heightened concerns around personal safety, and to reduce the risk of identity theft and cybercrime.

This action does not remove residential address information entirely.

Law enforcement agencies, government departments, and those who require address details for regulatory compliance and business purposes will still have access to this information.
