Insolvency statistics

ASIC publishes several statistical series to inform the market as to both the level of activity and profile of corporate insolvency in Australia.  These statistics are collected from forms and reports lodged with ASIC against our corporate and professional registers.

Warning: ASIC does not update the published statistics for Series 1, 2 or 5 after they cease to be preliminary and shading is removed. Accordingly, our published statistics are not updated for any changes to the corporate register resulting from subsequent form lodgements or withdrawals.
