In property management, professional standards aren't just a nice-to-have, they're essential. They protect your investment, reduce your risk, and ensure your property manager is equipped with the right knowledge to make informed decisions. That's why Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is now mandatory across Queensland.

 

What's changed in 2025?

As of 6 June 2025, CPD is a requirement for all Queensland real estate professionals who hold a full licence or registration certificate with the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). Every agent must now complete approved CPD activities annually to stay current and compliant with legal obligations and industry expectations.

The CPD training includes:

  • Legislative updates
  • Risk mitigation
  • Ethical practices
  • Industry-specific case studies and trends

This is not just theory. It's designed to help agents manage real-world challenges more effectively, from tenancy disputes to marketing strategies.

 

Why this matters to landlords

This program ensures that your property is managed by a knowledgeable and current professional, which means:

  • Lower risk of legal or compliance issues
  • Smarter decision-making and better tenant relationships
  • A higher standard of service and communication
