Voluntary Administration Melbourne
Let us guide you through the Voluntary Administration process, so you can get some breathing space from your financial stress
What is Voluntary Administration?
Voluntary Administration (VA) occurs when an Administrator is appointed to manage the investigation into a financially troubled company’s affairs and report on the affairs to make recommendations to its creditors. The Administrator can be appointed by a company director or a secured creditor.
The aim of Voluntary Administration is to enable the business, property and affairs of an insolvent company, or a company which may become insolvent, to be administered in a way that maximises both the chances for your company to continue trading profitably and for the positive return to creditors and shareholders.
VA is a means of corporate survival. It can be an effective restructuring tool for your company if it is facing financial difficulties. At Revive Financial, we work closely with you, your creditors and shareholders to determine the best solution to allow your company to survive.
The Administrator will provide a final recommendation to your creditors on whether they should:
- Return the company back to your control,
- Execute a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA), or
- Liquidate your company.

What is a Deed of Company Arrangement?
A DOCA is essentially the ‘deal’ that is proposed to your company’s creditors in VA. The aim of a DOCA is to maximise the chances of your company continuing, or to provide a better return to creditors than an immediate winding up, or liquidation of your company.
The specifics of the DOCA is designed to suit your individual situation and can therefore be very flexible and propose what is appropriate. The DOCA will be voted on by your creditors in the Second Meeting of Creditors. In order for it to be approved, the meeting must pass a resolution with 50% in number and 50% in value agreeing on the DOCA.
If the DOCA is agreed upon, it must be signed within 15 business days of the meeting or your company will automatically go into Liquidation.
