If you’re a licensed or registered real estate professional in Queensland, keeping up with your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a mandatory requirement. But one of the most common questions we hear is: “When exactly is my CPD due?”
The answer lies in understanding what a CPD year means.
Unlike other states that use a set calendar year, in Queensland your CPD year is unique to you.
It’s based on the issue date of your licence or registration. This means:
Your CPD year starts on the day your current licence or registration was issued.
You then have 12 months from that date to complete your CPD.
Each year, your CPD deadline is tied to the anniversary of your licence issue date.
Important: Any CPD you complete before your first full CPD year begins does not count.
To check when your CPD is due, you’ll need to know your licence or registration issue date.
Your issue date is printed on your current licence or registration.
If you hold multiple licences, or if you hold both a licence and a registration, use the one with the earliest issue date.
This date is the starting point of your CPD year and tells you when your CPD is due.
On your licence, the issue date is clearly printed – usually under your licence details.
