What continuing professional development (CPD) obligations apply to registered land agents in SA?
Correct Answer
A) No CPD is prescribed by the Act or regulations, though ongoing training is encouraged
Unlike NSW, Victoria, Queensland and WA, South Australia's Land Agents Act 1994 and Land Agents Regulations 2025 do not prescribe continuing professional development for land agents. Registration continues on payment of the annual fee and lodgement of the annual return. Industry bodies such as REISA and many employers expect ongoing training, and a restricted registration can carry training conditions.
