Agents Act 2003
A salesperson is someone who is employed by a licensed agent to provide a business, real estate or stock & station service. Under the Act, all salespeople must be registered and employed by a licensed agent to carry out work. Only individuals may be registered as salespeople.
A real estate salesperson is an individual who is employed by a licensed real estate agent to provide real estate agent services. This can be in the form of sales, property management or other real estate activities.
A business salesperson is an individual who is employed by a licensed business agent to provide business agent services. This can be in the form of sales, property management or other business agent activities.
A stock and station salesperson is an individual who is employed by a licensed stock and station agent to provide stock and station agent services. This can be in the form of sales, property management or other stock and station agent activities.
A conditional real estate salesperson is someone who works under the direct supervision of a licensed real estate agent and is enrolled in a course that will result in obtaining the appropriate qualification. This registration is valid for a maximum of twelve months and only while the person remains employed by the same agent and remains enrolled in the course. If the person changes employer they must advise the Commissioner for Fair Trading immediately for the registration to remain valid.
A second conditional registration is someone who is employed by a licensed agent to provide commercial real estate agent services to a single customer, as long as their employer only provides a real estate service to one customer and both the employer and customers are related corporations. The individual does not need to meet the qualification requirements for registration.
The qualification requirements for registration as a business, real estate and/or stock & station salesperson are the same. A salesperson needs to have obtained competency in the following units under the Property Services Training Package (CPP07).
CPPDSM4007A Identify legal and ethical requirements of property management to complete agency work
CPPDSM4008A Identify legal and ethical requirements of property sales to complete agency work
CPPDSM4009A Interpret legislation to complete agency work
CPPDSM4015A Minimise agency and consumer risk
CPPDSM4080A Work in the real estate industry
All qualifications obtained for registration must be based on the A.C.T. law. This means that while training can be undertaken in another jurisdiction, the training provider needs to indicate that the training undertaken is relevant to A.C.T. law. This can be done on the statement of attainment, or can be in the form of a supporting letter. Salespeople may also have obtained a qualification under the previous qualification package PRD01.
