If you are a foreign person planning to invest in or purchase Australian residential, agricultural or commercial land, or certain mining tenements, you may need to apply for foreign investment approval. We will advise you and help you with the application process to ensure that you understand and comply with your obligations under the Australian law on foreign investment.
