  • Are 18 years of age and over
  • Are living or working in Australia 
  • Have successfully completed at least Australian high school year 10, or equivalent

Pursuing a full auctioneer’s license, which covers not only property but also chattel, livestock, goods, and equipment, provides significant advantages over focusing solely on property auctions. With a full license, you open doors to a much broader range of career opportunities across various industries, allowing you to auction everything from real estate to agricultural equipment, livestock, and machinery.

This diversification leads to increased income potential, as you can earn commissions from multiple sectors and tap into year-round opportunities, avoiding the seasonal fluctuations often seen in property auctions. Moreover, having the ability to pivot to different types of auctions provides greater job security, as you won’t be solely dependent on the real estate market. In rural or agricultural regions, a full license enhances your versatility, making you a more attractive option for clients who need auction services beyond property. You’ll also build a broader professional network across industries, gain valuable skills in appraising and handling various types of auctions, and elevate your credibility as a multi-faceted auctioneer.

Ultimately, this path provides more career flexibility, the potential to earn higher commissions, and even the opportunity to start your own auction business, giving you the ability to meet diverse client needs and adapt to changing market conditions.

Having a full auctioneer’s license, especially one that covers chattel, livestock, goods, equipment, and property, opens up a wide range of career opportunities across various industries. Here are some of the key career paths and opportunities it can provide:

Livestock Auctions

  • Livestock Auctioneer: You can work for or with livestock markets, agricultural cooperatives, or independent farmers to auction cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock. This is a common and lucrative role in rural and agricultural regions.
  • Specialty Livestock Sales: You could also focus on high-value livestock sales, such as stud stock or specialty breeds.

Real Estate and Property

  • Real Estate Auctioneer: Licensed auctioneers can conduct property auctions, including residential, commercial, and rural properties. With real estate auctions becoming more popular in certain regions, especially for high-demand properties, this can be a profitable career.
  • Land Auctions: In addition to real estate, you could auction large tracts of farmland, development plots, or industrial land, which can involve significant deals.

Equipment and Machinery

Specialty Auctions

  • Antiques and Collectibles: Auctioneers with a knowledge of high-value or rare items, such as antiques, art, or collectibles, can develop a niche in this field. These auctions attract collectors and can be high-profit events.
  • Vehicle Auctions: Whether it’s cars, trucks, boats, or motorcycles, conducting vehicle auctions can be lucrative, especially for classic or high-end vehicles.
