South Australia real estate compliance — frequently asked questions
What legislation governs South Australia real estate compliance?
South Australian real estate agencies operate primarily under the Land Agents Act 1994 and associated regulations. Consumer and Business Services (CBS) is the primary regulator, responsible for licensing, trust accounting oversight, and compliance with conduct standards. Property management obligations are also governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 1995.
What are the CPD requirements for South Australian real estate agents?
South Australian registered land agents and sales representatives are required to complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a condition of triennial registration renewal. Consumer and Business Services sets the CPD requirements, which include both mandatory and elective components aligned to current regulatory priorities.
How are South Australian real estate trust accounts audited?
SA real estate agents who hold trust money must have their trust accounts audited annually by a registered company auditor. The audit report must be submitted to Consumer and Business Services within the required timeframe. Trust accounting failures are among the most serious compliance breaches under the Land Agents Act.
What records must a SA land agent principal maintain?
SA land agent principals must maintain trust account ledgers and monthly reconciliation records, CPD records for all registered staff, vendor and landlord management agreements, sale contracts and property management documentation, complaints handling records, and policies and procedures across key compliance areas.
Can REA Hub support SA agencies through CBS inspections?
Yes. REA Hub maintains structured records across CPD, licences, trust accounting, compliance registers, and policies. Consumer and Business Services inspections — whether announced or unannounced — are easier to navigate when your documentation is already organised and accessible.
