CPD Points

In the 2025-26 CPD year (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026), licensed agents must complete all compulsory topics relevant to their licence category and area of practice.

Real Estate Agents (Residential Salespersons, Residential Property Managers and Buyers Agents) must complete a minimum of 7 hours of interactive training.

Class 1 licence holders will be required to attend a NSW Fair Trading accredited forum in addition to their core hours. If you can’t attend NSW Fair Trading’s sessions, Class 1 Agents can meet their 5-hour accredited session requirement through select approved CPD providers that may incur a fee.

CPD is now mandatory for all Queensland property professionals who hold one of the following licences or registrations: real estate agent, real property auctioneer, resident letting agent or holder of a registration certificate.

You must complete 2 approved CPD sessions each CPD year.

From 6 June 2026, when you renew or restore your licence or registration, you’ll need to do one of the following:

• declare that you’ve completed your CPD—you don’t need to attach proof
• confirm that you’re exempt from CPD
• provide details if you couldn’t complete your CPD because of exceptional circumstances.

A property agent must undertake a minimum of 8 points of Board approved CPD in each licence year (1 July to 30 June).

8 points of CPD consists of:

• 6 points (of the 8 points) industry specific CPD; and
• 2 points (of the industry specific CPD) need to be delivered by an external provider.

The term external provider means that the CPD Activity is delivered by a person external to the organisation by which the property agent is employed.

Real estate agents and settlement agents are required to accumulate 5 CPD points under the mandatory training activities in a CPD year. A CPD year occurs 1 April – 31 March – except 2026 will include 1 January 2026 – 31 March 2027 to help easing into the new program.

Consumer Protection will publish CPD subject and topic guidelines, in which participants must attain at least one point from each of the three CPD subject areas every CPD year.

Mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) for Victoria property professionals will begin to roll out from November 2026.
