Real Estate CPD Queensland

If you hold a real estate licence or registration in QLD, CPD is now compulsory. This includes:

• Real estate agents and salespeople

• Property managers

• Real property auctioneers

• Resident letting agents

Who is exempt / when CPD does not apply

There are some exemptions and nuances:

• If your licence/registration was first issued less than 12 months ago, you are not required to start CPD until after your first 12 months. 
  
  

• If your licence was deactivated for most of your CPD year. 

• If you hold a limited real estate agent licence for affordable housing or business letting. 

• If you represent public sector agencies or you are an official under the Property Occupations Act 2014, provided you don’t hold an individual licence or registration.

• Also, exemption may be granted for a year if you have exceptional circumstances. 

What “CPD year” means, how to find this and “when you need to do CPD”

• CPD year is based on the issue date of your licence or registration. So each person has their own CPD year, starting from when their current licence or registration was issued. 

• Any CPD completed before your first full CPD year begins does not count.

Find your licence or registration issue date

Your licence or registration 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.
