Registering a company with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) involves providing a residential address, which is then recorded on a public database. However, ASIC allows for the use of an alternative address or suppression of the residential address in specific cases, such as when personal safety is at risk or when 'silent enrolment' is granted by the Australian Electoral Commission. These provisions help protect personal information while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. For detailed guidance, ASIC's official website offers comprehensive resources.
