VerifiedAll you need is a secondhand dealer's license. You should also have an ABN, and be registered for GST. You'd need to contact the Australian Taxation Office for those two things.
The secondhand dealer's license is available by clicking below:
http://www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au/Forms/Second_hand_dealers_pawnbroker_licence_form.pdf
Each state of Australia requires a secondhand dealing license if you want to buy and sell gold, so if you aren't in Queensland you'd need to contact your state's office of fair trading to obtain the above form for your state.
If my answer has been helpful or informative, please press the Accept button. I am also able to answer further questions after accepting.
