The State of Play for Australian Property Investors
Tuesday 25 August | 12:30pm AEST | 60-minute live webinar
The rules surrounding property investment in Australia are changing, and investors need to understand what those changes could mean for them.
Following one of the most significant Federal Budgets for property investors in years, Australians are now facing a very different investment landscape.
Changes to negative gearing and Capital Gains Tax, new restrictions affecting residential property investment through SMSFs, and an expanding wave of rental reforms across the states are reshaping the environment for Australia's private rental providers.
So where does this leave property investors — and what happens next?
Join PICA Chair Ben Kingsley & Tim Graham for an important 90-minute discussion examining the current state of play for Australian property investors.
We'll explore:
- What the Federal Budget changes really mean for property investors
- Negative gearing and CGT — who is affected, who is grandfathered and what changes from 2027
- The new restrictions on SMSF borrowing for residential property
- What's happening to investor activity since the Budget
- The latest changes to rental legislation around Australia
- The growing compliance burden facing rental property owners
- Whether current policy settings could further reduce Australia's rental supply
- What these changes could mean for rents, property values and housing supply
- Where PICA believes policy is heading
- The issues PICA is currently advocating on behalf of Australia's property investors
- What investors can do to have a stronger voice in the national housing debate
We'll also leave plenty of time for live Q&A with Ben.
This webinar is open to both PICA members and non-members, particularly those wanting to better understand the changing investment landscape and learn more about PICA's role in representing Australia's property investors.
