So what is the NPII ( National Personal Insolvency INDEX) ? The National Personal Insolvency Index is a data base maintained by the Insolvency Trustee Service Australia, an Executive Government Agency that oversights and regulates Australia’s bankruptcy laws, trustees and administrators. The cost of searching a name on the system is $35 depending on information provider and somewhat prohibitive to both commercial and private enterprises. The Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia ("ITSA") is responsible for maintaining an index containing information on proceedings and administrations under the Bankruptcy Act, 1966. Any person can, for a fee, gain access to the information maintained on this index through authorised Index Search Agents. Con
