In January 2026, ASIC engaged with the Treasury regarding its decision to remove residential addresses of company officeholders from company extracts available through ASIC Connect. Senior ASIC leadership, including the Commissioner and CEO, requested urgent meetings with Treasury officials to discuss the policy change. ASIC Chair Joseph Longo subsequently sent formal correspondence to the Treasurer responding to Treasury's letter dated 28 January 2026, outlining ASIC's position on address removal from the company register. The documents show high-level coordination between ASIC and Treasury on this regulatory modification affecting public access to company officer information held on ASIC's business registers, though the specific rationale and policy details remain redacted in the disclosure.
