Starting 1 July 2024, NSW Fair Trading will introduce updated regulations for strata, real estate and stock & station agents.
The key changes to these regulations will include:
Supervision Guidelines
These changes outline stricter requirements for how agencies:
- Oversee their operations
- Ensure legal compliance
- Ensure ethical conduct
- Prevent fraud
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Agents will also need to complete annual CPD training covering four mandatory topics specific to their license type. The mandatory topics for strata are:
Strata Managing Agents
- Strata law reforms 2023-24
- Introduction to work health and safety obligations in strata management
- New Supervision Guidelines for strata managing agencies
- Best practice management of building defects, maintenance and repair
The aim of these changes is to improve service quality, set higher standards and expectations to ensure protection of NSW consumers.
Introducing these changes also ensures that agents stay current with industry knowledge and best practices.
