The Unclaimed Moneys Act 1891 establishes a general dormancy period of six years. On the 1 January each year, companies prepare a register including all unclaimed accounts worth more than $10. After the 8th day of January, the register is open for public inspection during business hours, for a payment not to exceed twenty cents.

Companies also must publish account information in the South Australian Government Gazette annually during the month of January. All funds that have not been claimed within two years after the first publication of notice are paid to the Treasurer, minus costs of advertising. Visit: http://www.sa.gov.au or contact:
