Our services are designed to integrate seamlessly with our technology solutions to provide end-to-end corporate governance support.

What's the difference between a named and support Company Secretary?

A named Company Secretary acts as your official Company Secretary, delivering the same benefits as an in-house resource but with the added value of Automic's integrated professional services team at a lower cost. A support Company Secretary adds strength to your existing team, focusing on administrative and procedural tasks without being officially named.

You also benefit from our team's collective experience and integrated professional services.

How does Automic handle ASX and ASIC compliance?

We take the guesswork out of ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) compliance by managing all communications and lodgments with ASX and ASIC. This includes maintaining statutory registers, handling director notices and lodgments, and ensuring all regulatory obligations are met efficiently.

What strategic value do Company Secretaries provide beyond compliance?

Beyond essential compliance, our Company Secretaries provide strategic guidance on governance issues that impact long-term strategy, facilitate effective stakeholder communication, and promote ethical business practices. We ensure corporate governance supports your organisation's commercial objectives while maintaining best practice standards.
