Real estate and business agents licensing, registration and code of conduct
In Western Australia, individuals, partnerships or companies wishing to operate as real estate or business agents are required, under the Real Estate and Business Agents Act 1978, to be licensed and hold a current triennial certificate.
An individual wishing to work as a real estate or business sales representative must be registered and work under the supervision of a Western Australian licensed real estate and business agent or a developer that has registered its principal place of business with Consumer Protection.
The licensing system administered by Consumer Protection ensures only suitably qualified people are allowed to operate in the real estate industry. It requires applicants to have certain qualifications, experience, and be a person of good character and repute.
If you have any questions about the application process, please phone the licensing contact centre on 1300 304 064 between 8:30am – 4:30pm weekdays.
