All Queensland property professionals holding the following licenses or registrations are now required to undertake mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD), irrespective of their specific job title, position, or responsibilities:
The purpose of CPD training is to strengthen your expertise, expand your knowledge base, and elevate your professional standards. This ongoing education keeps you current with industry best practices and regulatory changes, playing a vital role in fostering client confidence and enhancing the overall standing of the property sector.
Please note that CPD training is distinct from any initial training requirements you may have fulfilled during your original license or registration application process.
You must complete 2 approved CPD sessions within each CPD year. Your CPD year is determined by when your license or registration was originally granted.
Failure to meet this requirement may result in ineligibility for license or registration renewal.

Exemption Applications
You may request an exemption for any CPD year if exceptional circumstances prevented you from completing the required training.
Exceptional circumstances must be both unforeseen and unavoidable. Poor planning or time management does not qualify as an exceptional circumstance.
