Victorian real estate compliance — frequently asked questions
What legislation governs Victoria real estate agency compliance?
The primary legislation is the Estate Agents Act 1980 (VIC) and associated regulations, along with the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 for property management. Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) is the primary regulator responsible for licensing, trust accounts, and conduct standards for real estate agents.
What are the CPD requirements for Victorian real estate agents?
Victoria has a triennial (3-year) licence renewal cycle. Agents must complete mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) throughout the licence period. The specific hours and requirements are set by Consumer Affairs Victoria and vary depending on the licence type and registration category.
How are Victorian real estate trust accounts audited?
Victorian real estate agencies holding trust funds must have their trust accounts audited annually by a qualified auditor. The auditor's report must be lodged with Consumer Affairs Victoria within 3 months of the end of the financial year.
What records must a Victorian estate agent principal maintain?
Victorian estate agent principals must maintain trust account ledgers and monthly reconciliations, CPD records for all licensed staff, agency agreements, property management documentation, complaints records, and written policies and procedures covering key compliance areas.
