The register, prepared

Everything on this site is free to read. What is sold is the work of joining two registers, flagging the licences that have left the current file, and keeping the difference between one collection and the next.

The pages of this site are free and will stay free : an official fact belongs to no one. What is sold here is the compilation work — extracting ASIC's AFS authorised representative and licensee registers, reconciling it, dating it, and delivering it in a usable form.

What is actually added

The representative rows carry a licence number and nothing else: the name, the State and the ABN all come from joining the second register — and that join is on a zero-padded number, which returns zero matches if you take the fields as they come. The flag saying a licence number is no longer in ASIC's current file exists nowhere in the source; it comes from comparing the two.

The flow, and why it is the product here

ASIC republishes the whole register rather than a change log. A snapshot therefore tells you the present; only a sequence of snapshots tells you what moved. We keep every collection from 2026-08-19 on and deliver the differences — new authorisations, cessations, licences that left the file.

⚠️ We publish no monthly rate of arrivals or departures as a market indicator. The register is corrected retrospectively, so a figure computed from one snapshot would not survive the next.

The 4 fields marked ⚠️ do not exist in the source : we add them — a join, a normalisation, or a reconstructed history. That is the part a buyer cannot reproduce by downloading the official file.
