Victoria's Business Licensing Authority (BLA) provides licences to businesses that need one to operate lawfully.

In performing our role, we balance the interests of business, consumers and the public.

The BLA and Consumer Affairs Victoria share office space and work together closely.

The BLA is an independent regulator within the Victorian Government's Justice portfolio, operating under the Business Licensing Authority Act 1998 (the Act).

It licenses and registers:

conveyancers
estate agents
motor car traders
owners corporation managers
rooming house operators
second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers
sex work service providers.

The Act requires that the Governor in Council appoints BLA members, who must be legal practitioners with at least five years experience.

The BLA Registrar and staff from the Licensing branch of Consumer Affairs Victoria also support the BLA’s work.

The legislation governing the BLA does not require an annual report to be produced.
