If you’re a registered liquidator, you can use ASIC’s liquidator portal to lodge external administration and maintenance forms. Other documents must be lodged on the ASIC Regulatory Portal.
Choose the right portal
You can lodge transactions online through the liquidator portal or the Regulatory Portal.
This page is for accessing the liquidator portal. You can lodge most external administration and liquidator registration forms using this portal.
Use the Regulatory Portal for other transactions, such as to:
- lodge initial statutory reports
- notify us that you do not intend to submit a supplementary report
- request our help in an external administration to get company records or a report on company activities and property
- submit a request for assetless administration funding.
For a list of all transactions on the Regulatory Portal, see Registered liquidator transactions on the regulatory portal.
To lodge any of the above transactions, go to the Regulatory Portal.
