The Australian property ecosystem is moving faster than ever.

Proptech Australia held its inaugural International Women’s Day lunch on March 12, celebrating the contribution of women in our sector.

Building and scaling a Proptech is a marathon, not a sprint. It demands relentless dedication, innovative thinking and a lot of grit.  That's precisely why celebrating our wins –  big and small –  is so crucial.  And there's no better platform to celebrate than the 2026 Proptech of the Year awards, held by Proptech Australia. Our awards are now officially open!

New regulations mean real estate agents will soon be part of a national Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML) regime. This legally obliges the industry to identify and report suspicious financial activities when working with vendors and buyers.
