There are two types of exchange-traded Australian Government Bonds (eAGBs) available: exchanged-traded Treasury Bonds (eTBs) which provide fixed interest payments, and exchange-traded Treasury Indexed Bonds (eTIBs) which provide interest payments linked to inflation.
There are different types of investments to choose from, with different risks and expected returns. Before making a choice, it is important to understand whether Government bonds are the right investment for you. ASIC's MoneySmart website guides you through the basic principles of investing and common types of investments.
In November 2024, the Australian government confirmed that Australia is moving away from cheques. From 1 December 2026 interest and maturity payments for Exchange-Traded Australian Government Bonds (eAGB) will only be made by direct deposit to an Australian dollar bank account. This applies to all investors regardless of residency or jurisdiction.
Australian Government Bond Investment Scam
Australian Treasury Bonds (including Green Treasury Bonds) and Treasury Indexed Bonds are only issued by the Australian Government and traded through authorised platforms. If you receive an unsolicited offer, high-return guarantee, or a request for personal details, it could be a scam. The Australian Government (including the Australian Office of Financial Management) will never contact you directly with Australian Government Bond investment offers.
If you believe you have been targeted by a scam, report it to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). You can also report cyber-related scams to the Australian Cyber Security Centre via ReportCyber.
