Australia is a land of great physical contrasts but one of beauty, with a friendly, laid-back lifestyle. It has a history of being politically stable with strong economic growth.

Australia also has some of the best educational facilities in the world. It offers the foreign investor a chance to be part of this growing economy and at the same time acquiring wealth of their own. 

Australia's economic growth rates are higher than in most OECD countries and beat those of the UK and USA. Australia's economy represents a low degree of risk, while it enjoys a consistently strong GDP growth, stable interest rates, rising exchange rates, relatively high levels of employment and a low rate of inflation. Long-term unemployment has dropped to its lowest level on record. While the population grows and incomes rise, the demand for housing now outpaces supply, causing property prices to continue rising.

The Australian Government welcomes foreign investment, particuarly in the ownership of residential real estate and business, as long as it benefits the economy and is consistent with the needs of the Australian community.

For the investor, the gains are: ownership of their own piece of Australia, a high rental demand, potential for income growth as rentals increase and taxation benefits from new building depreciation allowances.

However, foreign interests intending to invest in real estate in Australia must first seek approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Board. (FIRB)
