The National Business Names Registration Scheme, comprised of three Bills to replace Australia's current State and Territory business name schemes, was passed by the Senate on 13 October 2011. The Scheme introduces a new National Business Name Register, to be operated by ASIC, which will enable businesses to register their business name on one national register rather than in every State and Territory in which they trade.

On our website , associate Tim Scanlan and solicitor Helen Davison discuss how the National Business Names Registration Scheme will work and what it will mean for businesses across Australia.
