This directory helps you find a valuer certified by the Auctioneers and Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA) with the experience, specialist knowledge required and adherence to the AVAA Professional Standards to determine the market value of assets for Australian Tax Office (ATO) capital gains tax purposes.

Search by location and area of expertise to identify professionals with the respected AVAA Certified Valuer (CVAu) credential who can help you determine an asset’s value for capital gains tax purposes.  Not only do these professionals adhere to the industry standards, they also specialise in a range of assets ranging from fine ant and antiques, rare books and coins, sporting memorabilia and collectables, vintage vehicles, through to jewellery and luxury goods.

A certified valuer provides independent valuation information that may assist accountants, tax advisers, lawyers and other professionals in their work. It’s helpful to remember that valuers determine value and do not provide taxation, legal or financial advice.

If looking for a valuation, search the director (above) and also can submit an AVAA Valuation Request Form that provides a simple, structured way to outline your needs and be connected with professional valuers with the respected AVAA Certified Valuer (CVAu) credential. By capturing key details upfront, it supports accurate scoping, timely responses, and professional engagement, giving clients confidence that enquiries are handled consistently, securely, and in accordance with recognised valuation standards.

So, looking to engage a valuer?

It’s best to protect yourself by using an AVAA Certified Valuer (CVAu), as these professionals will be able to provide you with written terms of engagement, a clear explanation of deposit handling, and professional indemnity insurance coverage. In a polite but practical sense, choosing an valuer who cannot demonstrate these safeguards may increase your risk.
