Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

The Authority can make rules about continuing education. You must undertake continuing education at certain times or frequencies and cover specific topics. The Authority can require you to undertake particular continuing education or comply with specified requirements. The Authority can exempt you from some or all of these rules. Practice rules are secondary legislation, which means they have to be published in a certain way, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. You can find more information about how these rules are published by looking at the Legislation Act.
