Key features

Allows you to act on behalf of multiple entities (individuals or organisations) – for example, you may be an officeholder (director or secretary of a company) in which case you can register and claim that entity. You may then invite others to act on your behalf or you may be invited by an entity or an officeholder to act on their behalf in the portal.
Uses information you have previously supplied to pre-fill applications and transactions.
Tracks the status of your applications and transactions.
Enables you to view invoices.
Provides you with online payment options, including credit card.
Ensures greater security through use of your own individual portal user account and password.
Enables you to define user access levels that control what others can do on behalf of an entity (individuals or organisations) - for example, user access levels can be restricted so that some users can launch and edit a transaction, but they cannot submit it.
Allows you to correspond with us through the portal about submitted applications or transactions.
Allows you to view and respond to official notices.

Individuals acting on behalf of the entity

Only an authorised person, for example an officeholder (or equivalent), or holder of a licence or registration, can perform initial entity registration in the ASIC Regulatory Portal. Once the authorised person has registered they can then invite a trusted representative such as a company employee, a compliance officer, a registered agent, or a service provider to connect to their entity and assign them the required user access to view confidential information and perform regulatory tasks on behalf of the entity.

Once invited, the trusted representative will receive an invitation to the portal for the relevant entity and will be able to perform the required duties on behalf of the entity which they represent, including for example, the submission of industry funding business activity metrics.

The authorised person will only ever have to register and assign access to the trusted representative once for their entity.

Steps to log in

To log into the ASIC Regulatory Portal once you have already registered:

1. Go to the ASIC Regulatory Portal login page

From the ASIC Regulatory Portal homepage, select the blue 'Log in' button.

2. Enter your username and password

Enter your username (email address) and password.

You will be prompted by multi-factor authentication to authenticate your log in.

3. Select who you would like to represent

Select an entity from the list or click '+ Connect to an entity' to add another entity.

When connecting to an entity, you may be prompted to review contact details for that entity – billing address, billing contact, official ASIC notice contact and industry funding compliance contact.

An entity is a way of describing all the different ways through which business can be conducted – it could be an organisation structure like a company, a business, a partnership or a trust, or an individual (a ‘natural person’).

To connect to an entity, you must either have an existing role within, or for, that entity. A person that has Senior Administrator or Administrator access level within the portal for an entity may also invite you via email to connect. An invitation to connect to an entity will include an invitation key.

If you have an existing role within, or for, an entity you wish to connect to, we will verify your identifying information against our records.

If you hold a professional licence or registration with ASIC or are a registered company officeholder, we need to verify the name you used to register for the portal against the name we have on our records.
If the name you used to create your account does not match our records, you will not be able to connect to the licence, registration or entity. You should check your own records to confirm what name you have used or go to ASIC Connect’s register search - www.asicconnect.asic.gov.au.

4. View your dashboard

Once logged in, you will see the entity 'dashboard'. On the dashboard, you will find any recent transactions for the entity and can start new transactions.

In the top middle of the portal banner, the portal shows you which entity you are acting on behalf of or if you are acting for yourself. To switch entities and view a different entity dashboard, click on 'Switch entity' and choose an entity from your list of connections.
