Make sure your ABN details and business location are correct on the Australian Business Register (ABR). Government agencies use this information to check if you are eligible for financial assistance, grants or support during emergencies. 

Did you know?

Your main business address on the ABR should not be a post office box or tax or BAS agent address (unless you are running your business as a tax or BAS agent). To ensure you have access to the right government financial support, we need to know the physical street address of your business or organisation.

If you haven’t updated your ABN details on the ABR for some time, go to the ABR website to check and update your ABN details.
