Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You can ask for your real estate licence to be suspended. You do this by sending a written notice to the Registrar. You must say how long you want the suspension to last. The Registrar will then suspend your licence for that time. They will record the suspension in a register. You can ask for your licence to be revived by sending another written notice. The Registrar will revive your licence unless there is a reason to cancel or suspend it under section 54, 110(2)(c), or 115. The Registrar must follow these rules. You can control when your licence is suspended and revived.
