Western Australia real estate compliance — frequently asked questions
What legislation governs Western Australia real estate compliance?
Western Australian real estate agencies operate under the Real Estate and Business Agents Act 1978 (REBA Act) and associated regulations. The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) through the Consumer Protection division is the primary regulator, responsible for licensing, trust accounts, and conduct standards.
What are the CPD requirements for WA real estate agents?
Western Australian real estate agents must complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a condition of triennial licence renewal. DMIRS sets the minimum CPD requirements, which include mandatory topics. Agents must retain CPD records and present them as part of the triennial renewal process.
How are Western Australian real estate trust accounts audited?
WA real estate agents who hold trust money must have their trust accounts audited annually by a registered company auditor. The audit must be lodged with DMIRS within 3 months of the end of the financial year. Deficiencies in trust accounting are treated very seriously and can result in licence suspension or cancellation.
What records must a WA real estate principal maintain?
WA real estate principals must maintain trust account ledgers and reconciliation records, CPD records for all licensed agents, property management agreements, sales contracts and agency agreements, complaints handling records, and written policies and procedures for the key areas of their business.
Can REA Hub support WA agencies through a DMIRS audit or inspection?
Yes. REA Hub maintains organised records across CPD, licences, trust accounting, compliance registers, and policies. If DMIRS Consumer Protection requests an inspection or audit, all your documentation is already structured and accessible within the platform.
