With less than three months remaining for the 2016 calendar year the Department reminds you to check your Compulsory Professional Development (CPD) points tally.
If you have not obtained all of your 2016 points you should secure a place in the available courses now. You risk missing out if you leave it to the last few weeks of the year to book.
All licensees with current triennial certificates, and all sales representatives and property managers with current registrations, must complete the required CPD activities each year.
Every incorporated association must submit an association’s information statement (AIS) every year. The AIS is a short online form that asks basic questions about an incorporated association’s operations to confirm that it is still active and eligible to remain incorporated.

A Perth real estate agent is breathing a sigh of relief after a cyber-attack was thwarted in an attempt to steal $500,000 from a trust account.
It’s believed the cyber thieves gained access to the agency’s bank accounts after malware was downloaded into their computer system, probably from an attachment being opened or a website link being clicked in a scam email. The installed malware allows the criminals to record keystrokes and discover bank log in details, including the password.
