From www.holdingredlich.com: Australia’s new Foreign Investment Review Board portal, launched on 24 February 2025, transforms how foreign investors, particularly in renewable energy, submit and manage compliance applications by requiring verified digital identities and centralising reporting.

Key changes include streamlined compliance reporting, integrated communication within the portal, and the necessity for each investor to create individual accounts for improved governance.

Investors should register for a digital identity and familiarize themselves with the new system to avoid delays and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.
