AVAA Valuation And Auction Professions Guide For Journalists
Auctioneers & Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA)
Good afternoon
Please find attached the AVAA Media Guide for Journalists, which provides an overview of the Auctioneers and Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA), Australia's peak professional body representing certified valuers and auctioneers.
The guide outlines the breadth of expertise available through our members and the role AVAA plays in supporting professional standards, public confidence, and informed public policy. AVAA’s engagement on the recent capital gains tax changes is a good overview of our work. For an indication of our activity, please visit:
AVAA Certified Valuers (CVAu) and AVAA Certified Auctioneers (CAAu) can provide informed, independent commentary on a wide range of issues, including asset valuations, auctions, taxation, insurance, family law, insolvency, cultural heritage, consumer protection, market trends, online auctions, fraud prevention, and regulatory reform. They also specialise across diverse asset classes, from fine art, antiques and collectables to motor vehicles, machinery, aviation, marine, jewellery, rare books, coins and commercial assets.
If you are ever working on a story where an informed industry perspective would be valuable, we would be pleased to connect you with an appropriate AVAA spokesperson or certified valuer / auctioneer.
We hope this guide becomes a useful resource for your reporting, and we look forward to assisting you in the future.
Regards
Troy Williams
AVAA Chief Executive
