Provided all documents presented are verified and identity checks are conducted, the general timeline for company registration in Australia is from 2 days to 4 days. However, any delay in government processing should be expected to alter the expected timeline (over which we have no control).

The Commonwealth Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) outlines the legal requirement to appoint a company secretary to incorporate a company in Australia.

A public company must appoint at least 1 corporate secretary and at least 1 of its secretaries must reside in Australia.

A proprietary limited company (Pty Ltd) is not required to appoint a company secretary. However, it should be noted that in their absence, the duties and responsibilities of a company secretary will fall on the directors of the company.
