The Australian Auctioneers and Valuers Association (AVAA) have kindly shared this update on protocols for the auction industry with us.

They report that they have been in contact with the Premiers office of each state and can confirm that the restrictions put in place on 24 March 2020 regarding auction houses, did not include auctions done remotely, ie, online.

Although the auctions themselves are to be conducted online there has been an easing in the absolute ban on viewings prior to the auction.

The full details are in the protocol developed by the AVAA, are available here.
