Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations
The Registrar of Indigenous Corporations is an Australian Government statutory office appointed by the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs under the Corporations Act 2006.
The Registrar has powers similar to those of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for corporations registered at the national level set up by Indigenous Australians. Incorporation of Indigenous Australian bodies and companies can also occur at the State and Territory level.
The Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations assists the Registrar in administering the CATSI Act and in supporting and regulating corporations for indigenous people throughout Australia.
