Queensland real estate compliance — frequently asked questions
What legislation governs Queensland real estate agency compliance?
Queensland real estate agencies operate under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (POA) and the Property Occupations Regulation 2014. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) within the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General is the primary regulator, responsible for licensing, trust accounts, and conduct standards.
What are the CPD requirements for Queensland real estate agents?
Queensland real estate agents must complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as part of their annual licence renewal. The Office of Fair Trading sets CPD requirements each year, specifying mandatory and elective topics. Individual licence holders are responsible for completing and recording their CPD by the renewal date.
How are Queensland real estate trust accounts audited?
Queensland real estate agents holding trust money must have their trust accounts audited annually. The audit must be conducted by a registered company auditor and the report submitted to the Office of Fair Trading. Non-compliance with trust accounting obligations is a serious offence under the Property Occupations Act.
What records must a Queensland real estate principal licensee maintain?
Queensland principal licensees must maintain trust account records and reconciliations, CPD records for all licence holders, signed appointment documents for each property, disclosure statements, complaints handling records, and written agency policies and procedures.
Can REA Hub help Queensland agencies prepare for OFT audits?
Yes. REA Hub maintains structured records across CPD, licences, trust accounting, registers, and policies. Whether the Office of Fair Trading conducts an announced or unannounced compliance visit, your documentation is already organised and accessible within the platform.
