Australia is one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse real estate markets, combining mature, highly regulated capital city markets with fast-growing regional centres, major infrastructure corridors, agricultural land, tourism assets, commercial precincts, and emerging opportunities in housing, sustainability, technology and urban renewal. As a federation, Australia’s real estate profession is regulated primarily at State and Territory level. Each jurisdiction has its own legislative framework, licensing requirements, market conditions and professional representative body. Australia’s States and Territories are New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. Australia’s property sector plays a central role in the national economy and in the everyday lives of Australians, from home ownership and private rental housing through to commercial investment, development, property management, valuation, infrastructure and international capital flows. With strong institutions, transparent property rights and globally recognised professional standards, Australia remains an attractive and trusted market for local and international investors. For specific real estate enquiries, FIABCI Australia is pleased to assist by directing members, investors and industry participants to the appropriate contact or professional body in the relevant State or Territory.
