For lawyers
Your client rings after the notice. You’d rather have rung them.
The ACCC published an infringement notice. SafeWork NSW filed a prosecution. ASIC flagged the company for deregistration. Your client found out, sat on it for a fortnight, and then called you.
It was public the day it was published. The fortnight was the expensive part.
Catchwind closes it.
What lands in your inbox
Business status
ABN and GST registrationNational
You hear when a client’s ABN is cancelled, their GST registration starts or stops, or they add or drop a trading name, so you are not caught out at BAS or tax time.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations registerNational
For clients that are Indigenous corporations, you hear about status and size changes that change what they must report.
Charity registerNational
For clients that are charities, or run one, you hear about changes to their charity status or size, which change their reporting rules.
Company registerNational
You find out when a client company changes name or status, or is heading for deregistration, often before the client thinks to tell you.
Licences and registrations
Financial services and credit licencesNational
If a client’s financial services or credit licence changes or ends, you hear about it, because it changes what the business is allowed to do.
Regulator action
ACCC fines, undertakings and announcementsNational
If a client is named by the ACCC, you hear about it early and can help before the costs and the headlines grow.
ASIC action announcementsNational
If a client is named in an ASIC release, you hear it from us, not from the newspaper.
Visa sponsor sanctionsNational
If a client that sponsors visa workers is penalised, you hear about it and can help with the fines and the staffing impact.
Contracts and grants
Federal government contractsNational
You hear when a client wins a government contract, often a big change to their income, staff and insurance needs.
Safety and environment
Product and food recallsNational
A recall costs money and can lead to claims. You hear when a client has one, so you can help with the numbers and the insurance.
SafeWork NSW prosecutions and undertakingsNSW
If a client is prosecuted or signs an undertaking in NSW, you hear about it and can help plan for fines and costs.
Victorian EPA licences and noticesVIC
If a Victorian client gets an EPA notice or a licence change, you hear about it and can help with the costs.
Property and planning
Logan development applicationsQLD
A development application usually means a big project and a big spend. You hear when a client lodges one or gets a decision.
How it plays out
The regulator, on day one.
An alert: the ACCC has published an infringement notice naming Sample Retail Pty Ltd. You call that morning. The response is considered and on time, not drafted in a panic.
The prosecution you heard about first.
SafeWork NSW lists a prosecution against a client. You’re instructed before the first mention, not the week of it.
The company that nearly vanished.
A client company is flagged for deregistration. One call, one form, and the property it holds doesn’t vest in ASIC.
The contract that needed reading.
A client is awarded a federal contract. You offer to review the terms before they sign the next one on the same template.
The development that needed a lawyer early.
A development application lodged by a client. Planning, contracts and structure, with you involved from the start.

What it isn’t
Catchwind is not a litigation search and it does not report court filings. It reports what regulators and registers publish. We’ll say so plainly so you know what you’re getting.
Your clients never hear from us
We never contact your clients. We never sell your client list or use it to market to anyone.
To them, you’re just very well informed.
