From 5 April 2022, Directors of new companies must have a director’s ID before becoming the director of a company.
A Director’s ID is a unique identifier that a director applies for once and keeps forever. This is to help prevent false and fraudulent director identities. You can read more about Director’s ID at https://asic.gov.au/for-business/running-a-company/company-officeholder-duties/director-identification-number/
It is a criminal offence to become a Director without a Director’s ID.
You need a MyGovID first which I have sent a separate email about.
You need to apply online, please Click Here to see the steps.
If you have problems with validating your documents, the Australian Business Registry Services (ABRS) will be able to help you on 13 62 50.
Unfortunately, as this is a unique ID, we are unable to apply for this on your behalf.
Once you have your Director’s ID, could you please send it in to us for keeping with our records.
Please contact us on ccs@cascadeconsulting.com.au or 07 3422 1333 if you have any questions.

About Me
Hi, my name is Karen McDonald and I am a qualified accountant and probably best known as owner of Cascade Consulting, a business that has helped many businesses (including a lot of law firms) over the last 20 years.I run an accounting and tax practice, where we aim to empower our clients to understand their finances and lighten the load of compliance.
In 2011, I founded Wise Owl Legal Practice Management as a response to seeing so many lawyers caught up with the struggle of old, out-of-date and inefficient software. I believe software should lighten your load and empower you to focus on your core mission.
If you would like to learn more about how I could help your law firm in either the accounting or practice management space (or both), please click here to book a complimentary chat with me.
