NSW Mandatory CPD

New South Wales real estate CPD, without the fine-print fog.

Your hours depend on your licence class and area of practice. NSW uses a financial-year CPD cycle, compulsory topics and approved delivery. Class 1 agents also attend a Fair Trading-accredited event.

The 2026-27 requirements have landed — mostly

NSW Fair Trading released most of the 2026-27 CPD requirements on 9 July 2026. Several categories now need more hours — strata is up to 6, and commercial agents, business brokers and stock and station agents are up to 7. A few pieces are still being finalised: residential property manager topics, the Class 1 Fair Trading accredited forum, and new AUSTRAC AML/CTF training.

What the requirement means in practice

Start with the big pieces, then check the regulator for the details attached to your exact authority.

01

Residential sales and buyers agents

Both complete 7 hours of interactive training across four compulsory topics. Auction laws and practice, contracts, and supervision guidelines and AML/CTF in agency practice are common to both — salespeople also do a Rules of Conduct refresher, while buyers agents cover marketing services, scope of practice and licensing obligations.

02

Commercial, business brokers and stock and station

Each now needs 7 hours (up from 5). Business brokers cover 3 compulsory topics; commercial agents and stock and station agents cover 4, including fire safety, GST or safety risk management as relevant.

03

Strata and short-term managers

Strata managing agents complete 6 hours (up from 4) across three topics, and the old mandatory online strata module is no longer required. Onsite and short-term residential property managers complete 4 hours.

04

Still to come: property managers, Class 1 and AML

Residential property manager topics are being finalised separately. Class 1 agents also face a Fair Trading accredited forum and new AUSTRAC AML/CTF training, with delivery details still to be published.
