What is company establishment in Australia?
Establishing a company in Australia is the first step for individuals or organisations to formally engage in commercial activities. Every company must register with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), comply with the Corporations Act 2001, obtain the relevant industry licences, and meet tax obligations with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Choosing the right company structure – whether a proprietary limited company, public company, partnership, or sole trader – has a direct impact on legal liability, taxation, and long-term strategy.

What does the process involve?

• Selecting the most suitable company structure under the Corporations Act 2001.
• Registering the company name, office address, and directors with ASIC.
• Meeting licensing or industry-specific requirements (if applicable).
• Advising on ATO tax obligations and workers’ compensation.
