The date the 14 days run from
The notification period runs from the date of the event. This checker counts from the trade date, the earlier date, and shows the settlement date beside it; where a history gives only the settlement date, it counts from that and says so, and the trade may have happened a few days earlier: confirm with Services Australia.
The rule. Report a change in shares within 14 days. Named in the sources: a buy, a sale, bonus shares. Any other change to the total number of shares the form asks for: report or confirm. A price movement is not on the list; listed shares are revalued on 20 March and 20 September. Every rule and its source.
What it takes. Trade lines only: date, code, buy or sell, quantity. Recognised account and holder numbers are removed; nothing leaves your browser until you save.

Department of Social Services, Guide to Social Security Law: 3.10.4.10 General notification period, 14 days
What we rely on, in our words: Paraphrased: recipients generally have 14 days to notify a change in circumstances. The exceptions it lists include a 28-day period for certain recipients living overseas and for bereavement events, and 7 days after becoming aware of a compensation payment; a recipient who leaves Australia permanently or for at least 12 months moves from 14 to 28 days. Where a notification period ends on a weekend or a public holiday, it ends on the next working day after it. Last reviewed by its publisher: 12 May 2025.
