Hi End

Commsec allow you to trade international shares. I don't trade international shares directly so I can't help much more but if you go http://www.comsec.com.au there should be more info.

good luck

Comsec does offer it but they are not cheap (compared to local brokerage), you can read it all on the comsec website. Also browse this forum for other broker's names.

End,

Interactive Brokers are not based in Australia but they are great for international trading and extremely cheap. Probably not suitable if you just want a one-off trade as it takes a while to set up your account. But if you intend dipping into international waters on a larger basis down the track then I highly recommend them. You can also trade options, futures contracts and ETFs through them so the world is your oyster so to speak.

Did I mention that they are cheap?
