Foreign Investment

Invest in Australia with confidence.

"Foreign investment approvals can feel like navigating in fog. Expectations shift, the process can be difficult to read, and outcomes aren't always predictable.

We understand how Treasury and FIRB approach reviews, not just the rules, but the thinking behind them. That perspective helps clients navigate with clarity and position their proposals for success."

Owen Rayner, Principal

Owen has 10 years of dedicated regulatory expertise including senior roles in Treasury's Foreign Investment Division.
