As a member of a national organisation such as the Australian Institute of Conveyancers, the Division gains the benefits that go with a national profession and the Division has been, and always will, work closely with the national council of the Institute.

The Board examines proposals by foreign interests to undertake direct investment in Australia and makes recommendations to the Government on whether those proposals are suitable for approval under the Government’s policy.

The main functions of the Board are:

• to examine proposals by foreign interests for investment in Australia and, against the background of the Government’s foreign investment policy, to make recommendations to the Government on those proposals;
• to advise the Government on foreign investment matters generally;
• to foster an awareness and understanding, both in Australia and abroad, of the Government’s foreign investment policy;
• to provide guidance, where necessary, to foreign investors so that their proposals may be in conformity with the policy; and
• to monitor and ensure compliance with foreign investment policy.

The Board’s functions are advisory only. Responsibility for the Government’s foreign investment policy and for making decisions on proposals rests with the Treasurer. Many of the decisions requiring Ministerial consideration are made by the Assistant Treasurer.
The Board is assisted by an Executive which is part of the Treasury and also has available to it advice from other Commonwealth and State Government departments and authorities.
