- Accept the Electronic Lodgement Protocol and create the required portal credentials.
- Obtain authority for each company and complete the separate appointment process, usually Form 362.
- Maintain agent contact details and notify changes to the agent’s own registration details within 14 days.
After lodgement or completion
- Retain appointment authorities and manage staff access securely.
Important limits and exceptions
Registration as an agent is not blanket authority for every company. ASIC’s EDGE channel is for approved volume lodgers and is not an unrestricted public API.
