Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) Chief Executive, Veronique Ingram, today announced a new self-service option for people who need to obtain information about an individual’s current or past personal insolvency. Bankruptcy Register Search is an online service, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The fee to conduct a search is $12.
AFSA maintains the National Personal Insolvency Index (NPII) – the permanent public record of personal insolvency proceedings in Australia dating back to August 1928.
Up until now, if a member of the public wanted to conduct a search of the NPII, they would need to pay a fee to a Government-contracted Index Search Agent to obtain search results about an individual.
Ms Ingram said that from today, AFSA’s Bankruptcy Register Search is another avenue people can use to obtain the information they need.
“AFSA’s Bankruptcy Register Search is an addition to the services available from Index Search Agents,” she said.
“I’m excited to launch this new service which was built in-house by our own team of specialists.
“The new Bankruptcy Register Search adds to AFSA’s existing online services,” Ms Ingram said.
Ms Ingram also announced that AFSA will also be opening up access to the NPII to additional commercial operators in the near future.
The Bankruptcy Register Search and information on Index Search Agents, is available on AFSA’s website (www.afsa.gov.au).
