The Client Authorisation Form is a fundamental document in Australian property transactions, designed to meet the requirements of the Electronic Conveyancing National Law and the Model Participation Rules set by ARNECC. This form is mandatory when a representative acts on behalf of a client in electronic conveyancing transactions, such as property settlements and lodgments. The document serves as formal authorization, containing crucial elements including client identification, scope of authority, and specific transaction details. It must be properly executed with witness requirements and includes privacy considerations under Australian law. The Client Authorisation Form is particularly important in the context of electronic conveyancing platforms like PEXA, where it provides the legal basis for representatives to act in the electronic environment.
