Checklist
- Confirm which edition applies to the reporting period; ASX opened consultation on a draft fifth edition on 21 July 2026, and the fourth edition remains current until a new edition takes effect.
- Check each followed recommendation against a policy, charter or record that existed during the period.
- Confirm the statement’s date and approval and where it is published, as Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires.
