Search in one place
Getting business details from the Australian government can have you navigating multiple sites and searching in inconsistent and unintuitive ways. Today we're announcing our experiment with open government data: ABNs.ofthings.net is an easy way to search Australian businesses, allowing easy access to their details, including the registration with the Australian Business Register, their company details with ASIC, and charity registration with the ACNC. Charity details include their latest Annual Information Statement (AIS).
Note you'll need an up-to-data browser to use the site, as we are playing with cutting edge technologies. As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
