What is Form 492?
ASIC Form 492, Request for correction, is lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission when a document already on the register contains a defect, incomplete detail, or error that needs to be fixed. It is used to correct information rather than to lodge a new or replacement statutory form.
The form identifies the company, the document and form number that was previously lodged, and the specific correction being requested, along with the reason. ASIC reviews the request and decides whether the correction can be made to the register.
Who files Form 492?
- Companies that lodged a document containing an error or defect
- Officeholders or secretaries needing to correct information on the ASIC register
- Registered agents correcting a document lodged for a client
- Anyone asking ASIC to fix a defect in a previously lodged form
How to fill out Form 492

Frequently asked questions
When should I use Form 492 instead of relodging a form?
Form 492 is for correcting a defect or error in a document already lodged. If the change is a new event that has its own statutory form, lodge that form instead. Check the ASIC guidance if you are unsure which applies.
Will ASIC always make the correction?
Not automatically. ASIC reviews each request and decides whether the correction can be made to the register. Provide a clear explanation and any supporting documents to help ASIC assess it.
