What is FIRB?

FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) is an Australian government body responsible for reviewing foreign investment proposals to ensure they align with national interests. Foreign investors wishing to purchase property in Australia typically need to obtain FIRB approval.

The FIRB application process involves paying an application fee, the amount of which depends on the property value. Additionally, foreign buyers are required to pay additional stamp duty surcharges and annual land tax surcharges (in certain states).
