Changes to follow the passing of the Electronic Conveyancing (Adoption of National Law) Amendment Bill 2022.

ELNOs will be required to work together to support customers anywhere across Australia.

The Office of the Registrar General is to have its powers expanded to provide more choice and fairer prices for customers in the property and financial sector.

Announced by Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Victor Dominello, the changes follow the passing of the Electronic Conveyancing (Adoption of National Law) Amendment Bill 2022.
