The Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) is a Commonwealth statutory authority that does two main things:
- Administers personal insolvency (bankruptcy, debt agreements, personal insolvency agreements).
- Operates the PPSR under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth).
Functionally, a PPSR search run directly through AFSA reaches AFSA and can produce its official certificate. Some resellers add a workflow layer. Hoist is not currently offering that reseller path: preview and paid search are unavailable, fail closed without a price or register dispatch, and an account or plan does not unlock them.
Other AFSA touchpoints
- The National Personal Insolvency Index [AFSA-side: National Personal Insolvency Index] - a different register from the PPSR; tracks bankruptcy notices.
- B2G Account framework for resellers.
Worth noting: AFSA's NPII [AFSA-side: National Personal Insolvency Index] (the bankruptcy index) is a separate register from the PPSR. Hoist's future PPSR contract is org-only, but preview and paid search are currently unavailable - see the NPII disambiguation page.

How Hoist uses this
Hoist documents future AFSA PPSR contract shapes, but current API and MCP calls fail closed without a price or register dispatch. Use AFSA direct for a PPSR search today; account access or a plan does not unlock the Hoist path.
