We recommend that any person wishing to purchase thoroughbreds in Australia utilise the services of a bloodstock agent. The Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia Ltd was formed in 1988 to maintain, improve and develop the standards, status and services of Bloodstock Agents throughout Australia and to present and promote the views of its members.

There are 26 member firms which are available to assist in the sale and purchase of bloodstock as well as assisting in matters pertaining to bloodstock valuations, consultancy, management, matings advice, insurance, shipping, and other related matters. The Federation is the best point of contact for people requiring advice and guidance with their thoroughbred racing and breeding operations.

The minimum requirement to become a member is five years operation and at present members have on average, been working in the bloodstock agency field for twenty three years. Each member has agreed to abide by the Federation's Code of Ethics and is held to account via a complaints system which gives further assurance of integrity and professionalism.
