About APRIQ
APRIQ is an Australian property intelligence and research platform operated by Future8 Pty Ltd trading as APRIQ ("APRIQ", "we", "us" or "our").
APRIQ brings together property, rental, population, housing supply, migration, sales and other information from public, licensed, independently observed and proprietary sources.
APRIQ also calculates, organises and presents information to help users investigate and understand Australian property markets.
These Terms apply to your use of:
- apriq.com.au
- APRIQ market pages
- Market Finder
- comparison tools
- research and reports
- charts, maps and visualisations
- calculated metrics
- methodology and evidence pages
- Ask APRIQ and intelligence functionality when introduced
- downloadable materials
- and any other APRIQ service that links to these Terms.
By accessing or using APRIQ, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree, you should not use APRIQ.
General information only
APRIQ provides general information and research.
Nothing on APRIQ constitutes:
- personal financial advice
- financial product advice
- investment advice
- property investment advice
- taxation advice
- legal advice
- accounting advice
- credit advice
- a property valuation or appraisal
- a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a particular property
- or advice prepared having regard to your personal objectives, financial circumstances or needs.
A market appearing attractive according to an APRIQ indicator does not mean that a particular property in that market is suitable for you.
You should conduct your own due diligence and obtain appropriate professional advice before making significant property, financial, lending, taxation, investment or legal decisions.
Evidence is not certainty
Australian property information is imperfect.
Information may:
- be published with a delay
- be revised or restated
- use differing geographical boundaries
- cover different property types
- use different observation periods
- have small sample sizes
- contain publisher errors
- rely on estimates
- or cease to be directly comparable after methodological changes.
APRIQ distinguishes between:
OBSERVED — Direct underlying evidence.
CALCULATED — A deterministic calculation based on underlying evidence.
MODELLED — An estimate, forecast, score or other model-generated output.
These categories should not be treated as equivalent.
Where APRIQ states that evidence is unavailable, incomplete, insufficient or applicable only to a wider geography, that limitation forms part of the information.
Geography
Property datasets frequently use different geographical systems.
A figure displayed for a particular market may therefore be:
DIRECT — Measured directly for that geography.
WEIGHTED — Derived using an appropriate correspondence or weighting method.
PARENT — A wider geography is shown because APRIQ does not have a defensible direct figure for the requested market.
NONE — No defensible figure is available.
A weighted or parent figure must not be interpreted as a direct measurement for that market.
Forecasts and forward-looking information
APRIQ may publish forecasts, probability assessments, scenario analysis and other forward-looking information.
Forecasts are inherently uncertain.
They may be wrong.
They are not:
- guarantees
- promises
- valuations
- or recommendations.
Forecasts should be considered alongside:
- the information available when they were made
- their stated confidence
- assumptions
- subsequent changes in market conditions
- and later outcomes.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Source information and provenance
APRIQ seeks to maintain sufficient internal provenance to trace important evidence back to its source.
"Traceable to source" does not mean that every publisher, website address, file name or internal source identifier will necessarily be shown publicly.
Public disclosure may depend on:
- applicable licences
- contractual obligations
- source policy
- confidentiality
- commercial sensitivity
- and APRIQ's disclosure rules.
Where attribution is legally or contractually required, APRIQ intends to provide it.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, the APRIQ platform and original APRIQ materials are owned by or licensed to Future8 Pty Ltd.
This includes, where applicable:
- APRIQ branding
- written analysis
- market summaries
- research
- methodology
- charts
- graphics
- visualisations
- interface design
- software
- calculated metrics
- classifications
- models
- database organisation
- reports
- proprietary observations
- forecasts
- selection and arrangement of information
- and other original material.
All rights are reserved except where expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law.
Third-party material
APRIQ incorporates information originating from external sources, including government and public-sector publishers.
Rights in the underlying source material remain with the relevant rights holders.
Some underlying information may be available independently under open-data or Creative Commons licensing.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove rights that a third-party licence independently grants to you.
However, obtaining information through APRIQ does not automatically give you rights in APRIQ's separate:
- analysis
- calculations
- classifications
- database structure
- presentation
- compilation
- commentary
- software
- research
- visualisations
- or other original material.
If you wish to reuse an underlying public dataset independently, you should obtain it from its original source and comply with the applicable licence.
Permitted reference and quotation
We encourage legitimate:
- journalism
- research
- education
- commentary
- discussion
- and reference to APRIQ.
Unless otherwise stated, you may reproduce a limited and insubstantial extract of publicly accessible APRIQ material provided that:
- APRIQ is clearly identified as the source.
- The information is not presented misleadingly or out of context.
- Relevant qualifications, confidence statements and limitations are retained.
- A direct clickable link to the relevant APRIQ page is provided where technically possible.
- The use does not form part of systematic, bulk or commercial redistribution.
Preferred attribution:

Do not send:
- passwords

Ask APRIQ and artificial intelligence
APRIQ may use artificial intelligence to assist with:
- request classification
- evidence retrieval
- summarisation
- research assistance
- preparing draft responses
- identifying evidence gaps
- and internal operational review.
AI-generated information can be incomplete or incorrect.
APRIQ's deterministic evidence, disclosure and validation systems remain separate from AI reasoning.
Matters requiring material human judgement may be escalated to a person.
An AI-generated response is not professional advice.

- or remain free.
We may:

- why you believe it is incorrect
- and supporting evidence.
APRIQ may investigate and correct information where appropriate.
External links
APRIQ may link to third-party services or websites.
A link does not necessarily indicate endorsement or responsibility for that third party.
Third-party sites have their own terms and privacy practices.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, APRIQ does not guarantee that information is:
- complete
- current
- accurate in every circumstance
- uninterrupted
- or suitable for a particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by law, Future8 Pty Ltd is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on APRIQ information without appropriate independent verification.
