Verify real estate agent, property manager, and auctioneer licences across all Australian states. Checks against state licensing authority records. Instant verification for property sector employers.
Overview
Real estate agents, property managers, and auctioneers are required to hold a current licence in every Australian state and territory. Licensing is administered at the state level — by Fair Trading NSW, Consumer Affairs Victoria, QBCC in Queensland (real estate licence), Consumer Business Services SA, Building and Energy WA, CBS Tasmania, OCBA NT, and Access Canberra ACT — and requirements vary between jurisdictions.
Hiring an unlicensed agent or property manager exposes property management firms, real estate franchises, and developers to significant legal and regulatory risk. Unlicensed activity is an offence in every state, and employers who knowingly engage unlicensed practitioners face prosecution, licence suspension, and civil liability to clients.
Refchecks verifies real estate licences directly against state licensing authority records. A verification report confirms whether the candidate holds a current, valid licence, the licence type (agent, property manager, auctioneer, etc.), licence number, and expiry date. Checks are returned in under 24 hours in most cases.
