Albanese Government tables report of the Statutory Review of Meetings and Documents Amendments

Australian Treasury

Today, the Albanese Government has tabled the report of the Statutory Review of the Meetings and Documents Amendments.

The report provides the findings and recommendations of the Statutory Review of the Meetings and Documents Amendments.

The Amendments considered were made to the Corporations Act in 2021 and 2022 to provide for virtual company meetings and the electronic distribution, signing and execution of company documents.

The tabling of this report satisfies the requirements of the Act for a review of the Amendments.

Companies planning their annual general meetings can do so with the knowledge that the provisions for wholly virtual meetings will continue to be in effect.

The Government will consider the Panel’s report and publish its response to the recommendations in due course.

A copy of the report and non‑confidential submissions will be available on the Treasury website.
