What Is FIRB?

FIRB stands for the Foreign Investment Review Board. Many foreign buyers are required to obtain FIRB approval before purchasing Australian residential property.
FIRB regulations are designed to manage foreign investment in Australian real estate and help support housing supply.
Requirements can vary depending on:
- Visa status
- Residency status
- Property type
- Intended use
Understanding FIRB requirements before purchasing is essential.
What Types Of Property Can FIRB Buyers Purchase?
Depending on individual circumstances, foreign buyers may be eligible to purchase:
- New apartments
- Off-the-plan properties
- House and land packages
- Vacant land (subject to development requirements)
- Selected development opportunities
Restrictions often apply to established residential properties.
Because every situation is different, we recommend discussing your circumstances with us before proceeding.
