Your first purchase, step by step
Investing in precious metals is straightforward once you know the process. Register, buy at live prices, then collect, take delivery or store — and sell back to us whenever you choose.
Most people have questions first
Investing in precious metals is a rewarding experience, though most people have plenty of questions before they start. The GBA team is experienced and ready to guide you through buying or selling.
You can purchase online, over the phone, or in person with our team in the custom built showroom. Below are the steps to register an account and start buying.
Four steps to buying
Create an account
Registering with GBA is quick and easy, and once set up you can buy at any time. Enter your details exactly as they appear on your driver’s licence so the electronic verification check can confirm your identity.
Verification usually takes less than a minute. Once it is complete you can log in with the username and password you chose and start buying straight away.
Shop and buy
Log in and buy right away. Every item shows live pricing, so you can add to your cart and secure that price as you go.
You can also buy over the phone on 1300 754 602, or in person at any of our five offices.
Collect, deliver or store
Choose what happens next: collect from our showroom, have it delivered to you, or leave it in our custom-built vaulting facility.
Vaulted holdings are fully insured, and you can see valuations, transactions and holdings on your Metal Account Statement.
Sell when you are ready
Just as there is a time to buy, there will come a day when you want to sell. Buybacks are priced on the market value at the time your metal arrives, and you can get an indication from our charts and prices.
Bullion can be brought in or sent to us. If you cannot come in person, our team will talk you through the sending process.
Relationships, trust, integrity and sterling service. As a business owner whose products use precious metals, GBA is the only supplier I consider. What makes GBA stand out is not just the competitive rates but also the team’s product knowledge, macroeconomic awareness, the understanding of why people buy precious metals and, most importantly, the generous support provided to my business in so many other ways. Why would I go anywhere else?

Why are precious metals worth investing in?
Physical gold, silver and platinum act as an insurance policy in volatile economic environments. They are considered low-risk assets and a valuable tool for a diversified portfolio.
For centuries, these metals have been a safe haven from currency devaluation and a way to preserve wealth. That need is as great today as it ever was, which is the principal reason more and more people are investing in them.

Yes. Our custom built showroom is open Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm at 1 Avalon Parade, Cnr of Paradise Ave, Miami QLD 4220.
Are my prices locked in when I place my order?
Online orders. Yes. Once you complete the purchase process and confirm your order, the price is locked and the order becomes a legally binding contract. You will receive an email confirming your purchase with everything you need to make payment.
Telephone and email orders. These are confirmed by an emailed contract, which becomes legally binding once accepted.
Can I have my metals stored, or take them with me?
Either — the choice is entirely yours. If you store bullion yourself, treat it as you would cash and make sure it is secure.
If you would rather not carry that risk, GBA has a fully custodial, custom built vaulting facility at Gold Bullion Australia Treasury Reserve. We can arrange automatic vaulting of your purchase, fully insured at all times.
Different storage options carry different costs, so contact us to talk through them. All valuations, transactions and holdings are visible on your Metal Account Statement.
How are live prices set, and what is a spot price?
Gold and silver prices are based in USD, the current world reserve currency. The spot price is the price the metals trade for globally. Spot is converted into local currency, with premiums added to cover manufacturing and distribution.
