| name | Australia — ABR / ASIC Lookup |
| description | Live, real-time queries to **Australian Business Register (ABR — ABN Lookup)** (Australia). Drops the OpenRegistry MCP toolset onto a single-country workflow when the user names ABR / ASIC, the country, or its registry directly. ID format: 11-digit ABN or 9-digit ACN (e.g. ABN `33 123 456 789`, ACN `004 028 077` for BHP Group Limited). Returns the registry's response unmodified — every field name, status string, and filing byte preserved verbatim. Use this skill when the user explicitly mentions: Australian company, ABN, ACN, ABR, ABN Lookup, ASIC, Pty Ltd, Australian Pty Ltd, Australian SA, Aussie company, who owns this Australian company.

Quirks specific to Australia
- ABR (ABN Lookup) is the open public dataset; full ASIC company data (officers, shareholders, registered addresses) is paid-only via ASIC's commercial channels.
- ABN ≠ ACN. ABN is for tax/business; ACN is for incorporated companies (subset of ABNs).
- GST registration date is in the ABR record — useful indicator of operational status.
- Indigenous corporations (CATSI) and partnerships also have ABNs — filter by
entity_type in profile.
