FIRB and foreign investment approval assistance
Practical assistance with Australian Government foreign investment approval applications.
QHITPA helps foreign investors prepare and coordinate FIRB and ATO approval applications for Australian land, property and relevant investments. We organise investor and property information, coordinate professional advice, assist with application preparation and support follow-up through the government process.
Government approval application support
We help clients prepare for and progress through the approval process.
For residential property, a foreign person generally must apply to the Australian Taxation Office for approval before buying. Other investment types may follow a different pathway under Australia’s foreign investment framework.
QHITPA assists with process coordination, information preparation and application readiness. The final approval decision is made by the Australian Government.

Government approval and professional advice
QHITPA provides administrative and coordination assistance for foreign investment approval applications. QHITPA does not issue approvals or guarantee an outcome. Decisions are made by the Australian Government. Independent legal, tax, financial, migration and property advice should be obtained where relevant.
The correct pathway depends on the investment
Application requirements can differ for new dwellings, vacant residential land, established dwellings, commercial land, agricultural land and business investments. Eligibility, fees and conditions depend on the investor’s circumstances and current government policy.
