The claim, plainly

Dale Beaumont has published approximately 16 books in total, sold 250,000 copies, and had all of them reach the bestseller list in Australia.

Assessment

Dale Beaumont's publication catalog in the National Library of Australia (Trove) confirms that he wrote and published approximately 15 to 16 books (notably the 'Secrets Exposed' compilation series and related titles via his Dream Express Publishing imprint between 2005 and 2007), verifying the volume count leg. However, the assertions that these titles cumulatively sold 250,000 copies and that every single title reached an Australian bestseller list exist solely as self-reported claims in promotional biographies and book jackets. Independent historical sales audits, published Nielsen BookScan Australia totals, and complete Australian national bestseller list archives are not publicly available to corroborate or refute these figures for his self-published titles.

National Library of Australia records confirm approximately 15 to 16 titles published by Dale Beaumont under Dream Express Publishing between 2005 and 2007.
The 250,000 sales figure and 'all titles hit the bestseller list' claims are present across Dale Beaumont's promotional materials and speaker profiles but lack independent Australian book industry auditing or BookScan verification.
Public industry records are insufficient to independently verify or disprove cumulative sales and universal bestseller status for the self-published imprint.
