Securing the wealth of Queensland’s professionals, mining executives, property investors, and business owners. From New Farm and Teneriffe to Ascot and Hamilton, our premium online BFA service protects what matters most as Brisbane’s economy accelerates towards 2032 and beyond.
Brisbane is Australia’s fastest-growing capital city, with a booming property market, resources wealth, and an economic transformation accelerating towards the 2032 Olympics. Our clients here require BFAs that match the pace of the city’s growth.
Brisbane’s property market has surged dramatically, with suburbs like New Farm, Teneriffe, and Ascot achieving record prices. Hamilton’s riverfront developments, Bulimba’s family homes, and Paddington’s character Queenslanders have all seen substantial capital growth. With the 2032 Olympics driving further investment, protecting these appreciating assets through a BFA is a prudent financial decision.
Brisbane is the operational headquarters for much of Australia’s mining and resources sector. Many FIFO workers and mining executives are based in Brisbane while working across Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory. Their remuneration packages — including base salary, site allowances, share options, and substantial superannuation — often represent significant accumulative wealth that demands BFA protection.
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games are catalysing billions in infrastructure spending and urban renewal. Areas like Woolloongabba, South Brisbane, and the inner city are being transformed, driving property values upward. Clients investing in pre-Olympic property, development projects, or businesses positioned to benefit from the games should protect these assets now before further appreciation.
Brisbane’s tech and startup ecosystem, centred around Fortitude Valley’s innovation precinct, has produced a growing number of founders and tech executives with substantial equity interests. Combined with Queensland’s strong property investor culture and the city’s expanding professional services sector, Brisbane’s new wealth requires sophisticated BFA solutions.
Our experience with Brisbane-based clients means we understand Queensland’s unique property market, de facto relationship provisions, and the resources-driven wealth that characterises much of the state.
Queensland has strong de facto relationship provisions under the Family Law Act 1975. Couples in de facto relationships of two or more years, or with children, or who have made substantial financial contributions to the relationship, have property rights similar to married couples. This means a BFA is equally critical for de facto partners in Brisbane — not just those planning to marry.
We see a significant number of de facto BFAs from Brisbane clients, particularly among professionals who may not intend to marry but have accumulated substantial joint property, investment portfolios, and business interests during their relationship.
Queensland’s property investor market is one of Australia’s strongest. Many Brisbane-based clients hold multiple investment properties — often stretching from the Gold Coast hinterland to the Sunshine Coast, with additional holdings in Toowoomba, regional Queensland, and interstate. We draft BFAs that comprehensively address multi-property portfolios, including Queensland-specific stamp duty transfer considerations and land tax thresholds.
Brisbane-based FIFO workers and mining executives face unique BFA considerations. Extended periods working remotely, high income but variable tenure, substantial superannuation accumulation, and property purchased during resource booms all require careful treatment. Our BFAs address the specific dynamics of resources-sector wealth, including the distinction between pre-relationship and relationship-period earnings during boom cycles.
A seamless, entirely online process designed for busy Brisbane professionals. Whether you’re between FIFO rosters, running a business in Fortitude Valley, or managing a practice in Spring Hill, we work around your schedule.
Complete our secure online questionnaire from your home in New Farm, your office in the CBD, or even from site in remote Queensland. Detail your assets — Brisbane property, investment portfolio, mining income, SMSF, Gold Coast holiday apartment, or business interests — and we’ll assess the ideal BFA structure for your circumstances.
Our legal team drafts a bespoke agreement tailored to your specific situation. For Brisbane clients, this typically addresses Queensland’s de facto relationship provisions, resources-sector remuneration packages, multi-property investment portfolios, business equity in the city’s growing tech and services sectors, and the treatment of pre-Olympic investment properties.
Both parties receive independent legal advice as required by the Family Law Act 1975. We coordinate this entirely online — particularly valuable for FIFO workers who may be on-site during the process. Your executed BFA is a legally binding document enforceable under federal law, providing certainty regardless of where your assets are located.
As a mining executive working two-weeks-on, one-week-off between Brisbane and the Bowen Basin, finding time for legal appointments was near impossible. Accord Private handled everything online — I reviewed documents from site and my partner completed her side from our home in Ascot. They understood my remuneration structure, our investment properties on the Gold Coast, and my SMSF. The whole process was finished in under six weeks without a single in-person meeting.
