How to prepare Form 492 for a document that was originally lodged outside of CAS360

Overview

If the Form 492 - Request for correction is correcting a document that was lodged by paper or a lodged registration application then you will need to complete the Form 492 - Request for correction and send it to ASIC by post.

It needs to be sent to:
Australian Securities and Investments Commission
PO Box 4000
Gippsland Mail Centre VIC 3841

For further information on lodging paper forms with ASIC, please see Lodging Paper Forms

Form 492 can only be lodged electronically if the original Form was lodged electronically.

See How to Lodge Documents Prepared to ASIC

Please be advised that you will need the document number of the original lodgement for this request. If you cannot locate the document number, you can obtain this using the company name or ACN in a 'Organisations and business names' search through ASIC Connect

Please note: if the original form being corrected is a Form 201: the Form 492 must be lodged manually despite whether the Form 201 was lodged manually or electronically.

Form 492 can be prepared through the documents screen.
