What is the process to appoint or resign a director?

Pass a board/shareholder resolution, update the register of directors, and file the change with ACRA within 14 days. Director changes (appointment or resignation) follow a standard, time-bound process. To appoint a director: confirm they are eligible (at least 18, not disqualified, and locally resident if they are the sole director), obtain their written consent, pass a board or shareholder resolution, then update the register of directors and file with ACRA. To resign a director: confirm the company will still have at least one director meeting the residency requirement after the resignation (otherwise it cannot take effect), submit the resignation letter, pass a resolution, update the register and file. Both cases must be filed via ACRA BizFile within 14 days of taking effect, with penalties for lateness. CorpSec AI can auto-generate the consent, resolution and filing documents, so users typically just confirm and enter the ACRA reference number.
