A Director ID is a unique identifier required by law for company directors in Australia and is issued once and kept for life. Eligible members who wish to nominate must apply for a Director ID before submitting their nomination. Nominations without a Director ID will not be accepted. 

You can apply for a Director ID at abrs.gov.au. Further information is available in the Candidate Information Pack.
