Upcoming changes

We’re want to share an important update with our community that reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting property investors across Australia.

From July 1, 2025, we will be updating our pricing structure.

This change supports our ability to better represent and serve the wider community of property investors, including both our current members and those who may join us in the future.

PICA is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers. Every dollar from membership goes directly toward advocacy, education, and protecting your rights as a property investor.

Why We’re Updating Our Pricing

Like many organisations, our operating costs have increased — CRM systems, insurances compliance, digital tools, event delivery — but our mission remains the same:

To amplify and protect the voice of property investors across Australia.

This increase will allow us to:

• Strengthen our lobbying power by growing the membership base
• Provide more resources to expand our events and educational programs
• Provide more regular and timely communications and updates
• Maintain our independence and our unique voice by refusing commercial interests that may be seen by others as a diluted or self-interest message by industry.

What Membership Makes Possible

At PICA, we exist to advocate for property investors, and support from both members and the broader investment community enables us to do just that. Over the past year, we’ve continued to fight for fairer treatment of property investors, running our small private rental accommodation businesses in every state, including:

1. Representing investor interests in proposed tenancy reforms across NSW, VIC, QLD and WA such as:

• Proposed Rental Reforms Victoria
• Property Investors Call for balances reforms amid rising pressures
• Queensland Enforces Stricter Rental Rules and PICA's submission
• Greens Push Restrictive Housing
• Webinar: Setting the Record Straight – What the data shows & the misinformation being circulated.

2. Calling for fairer tax policy at both state and federal levels like:

• Negative Gearing CGT Discussion

3. Regularly engaging with media and government to ensure your voice is heard such as:

• realestate.com.au - Most Common Property Investment Myths Busted
• Australian Property Update - More Property Investors Needed
• realestate.com.au - New Landlords to lose 23k in 12 months

But our work doesn’t stop at advocacy. Whether you're a current member or simply aligned with our cause, we offer valuable tools and market insights. Our members also benefit from:

• Access to exclusive webinars and events
  
• Practical guides, legal updates, and investment resources
  
• A growing national community of like-minded investor

We exist to help protect your investment. An investment that is worth hundreds of thousands or potentially even millions of dollars. If  Governments continue down the current path, your investment returns are at risk.

This membership is an investment in protecting property owners and their contributions to the housing market.

We are deeply grateful for our members financial support. Together, we can continue to advocate and influence change and protect the future of property investment in Australia, which add to the supply of rental accommodation and the broader economy.
