Personal Property Securities Register 

Important Announcement/s

The PPS Register

Thank you for visiting the Australian Government Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) website.

 

The new PPS Register will commence operation on 30 January 2012 and will be available from this website. The PPS Register will allow Australians to check whether the goods they are buying have a security interest over them—such as cars, boats or machinery—almost anything except real estate. It will provide buyers with peace of mind before they purchase.

 

The PPS Register will also provide additional protection for businesses that lease or supply goods, in the event that a debtor defaults or goes bankrupt.

The PPS Register

The ability to create account and user management prior to the commencement of the register ended on 15 January.

 

The PPS Register will now not be available until the registration commencement time of 30 January 2012.

 

About personal property securities

PPS reform will introduce a national commercial law that will affect secured financing involving personal property. It will bring the different Commonwealth, State and Territory laws and registers regarding personal property security interests under one national system and introduce a single national online Personal Property Securities Register. The registration commencement time (RCT) is 30 January 2012.

Grantors

A grantor is an individual or organisation who grants a security interest over personal property to a secured party. This includes using your personal property as security for a loan, such as a secured car loan. If you lease equipment or acquire supplies on a retention of title basis, this may affect you.
