The Secretary Consent Form is a fundamental corporate governance document required when appointing a company secretary in Australia. This form must be completed before or upon the appointment of a new company secretary and is mandatory for submission to ASIC within 28 days of the appointment. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides evidence of the secretary's formal consent, confirms their eligibility under the Corporations Act 2001, and captures essential personal information required for ASIC records. The form is particularly crucial for public companies, which must have at least one secretary, and is also used by proprietary companies that choose to appoint a secretary. The Secretary Consent Form must include specific declarations about the appointee's eligibility and their understanding of the role's responsibilities.
