Foreign investment

Policy topic: Business and industry

In short

Foreign investment is critical to Australia’s economy and prosperity. Australia’s foreign investment regime is open, transparent and welcoming.

We review foreign investment proposals against the national interest on a case‑by‑case basis. This approach maximises investment flows while protecting Australia’s interests.

Regulating foreign investment is a shared responsibility between Treasury and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
