On July 6, 2026, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) issued the ASIC Corporations (Amendment and Repeal) Instrument 2026/564, a legislative instrument that came into force on the same date. The instrument amends and repeals provisions under the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations (Fees) Act 2001, which are administered by the Department of the Treasury. The instrument represents ASIC's exercise of its regulatory authority to modify existing corporations legislation. As a legislative instrument, it operates within the framework established by the primary legislation it amends, allowing ASIC to make targeted adjustments to regulatory requirements without requiring full parliamentary amendment. The instrument is registered under the Federal Register of Legislation with the reference number F2026L00920. The specific amendments and repeals contained within the instrument are detailed in the legislative text and accompanying explanatory statement, which provide comprehensive guidance on the changes implemented. Market participants, financial service providers, and other entities subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations (Fees) Act 2001 should review the full instrument to understand how the amendments affect their compliance obligations. The instrument came into effect immediately upon publication, and entities should ensure they are operating in accordance with the amended provisions. The full legislative text and explanatory statement are available through the Federal Register of Legislation.
