Continuing Professional Development
Queensland CPD Requirements — What You Need to Know
As of 6 June 2025, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is mandatory for all licensed and registered real estate professionals in Queensland. Whether you're a real estate agent, property manager, auctioneer, or resident letting agent — you must complete approved CPD each year to keep your licence or registration active.
Annual Requirement
Each year, prior to the anniversary of your licence or registration, you are required to complete two Office of Fair Trading (OFT) approved CPD sessions.
Option 1
Complete two Type 1 sessions — focused on nationally recognised units covering core real estate knowledge and compliance.
Option 2
Complete one Type 1 session and one Type 2 session — where Type 2 is focused on service, ethics, and professional development.
CPD isn't just a requirement — it's a professional advantage. As laws, technologies and market expectations evolve, staying current ensures you're offering the best advice and service to your clients. It builds trust, demonstrates professionalism, and shows that you're committed to delivering the highest standards in Queensland real estate practice.

- ✦Communication and negotiation
- ✦Ethical practice and professional conduct
- ✦Customer service excellence
- ✦Building and maintaining client relationships
