Making it easier to manage your CPD
ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CORE PURPOSE OF THE REIV AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER TO MANAGE AND RECORD YOUR PD ACTIVITY.
For the 2023/24 CPD period, the requirements have been simplified to directly align with hours spent on professional development.
The biggest change for you is that the CPD requirement is now 10 CPD hours annually, of which up to 5 CPD hours can be completed via external activities when reported to us.
This change should make it easier for Members to track and understand their CPD obligations, and make it easier for you to achieve your CPD requirements with the professional training you may be already undertaking.
Professional Development Activities
AND ACCUMULATION OF HOURS
Who needs to comply?
CPD requirements must be met by all REIV Licensed and Representative Members. This includes Honorary Life Members, who are also Licensed Members.
How many CPD hours do I need?
A minimum of 10 CPD hours must be achieved in a CPD year. This must include the prescribed REIV Ethics Module for the year. Up to 5 CPD hours can be accumulated from professional development undertaken outside the REIV.
What contributes to CPD hours?
CPD hours can be attained through a variety of initiatives. This includes activities undertaken with the REIV as well as those undertaken externally. Any activity or service that extends your real estate skills or supports your business compliance, will be eligible for recognition as CPD hours. Refer to the REIV CPD Table for CPD-approved activity.

What is the CPD Year?
1 April – 31 March
I am a new Member. Do I still need to achieve 10 hours? New Members who join between 1 January – 31 March are exempt from CPD requirements for that CPD year. New Members joining between 1 April – 31 December will be required to achieve the prorated CPD hours for that CPD year (i.e. Member joining in October will be required to achieve 5 REIV CPD hours by 31 March).
Managing Your Cpd
Managing your CPD is as simple as logging in with your individual Member ID and password to the REIV Member Portal. Here you can check your current hours, or report any external activities that may be eligible for REIV CPD Hours.

These changes will be automatically applied and no action is required by Members. Any CPD earned since April 1 has been automatically recorded as hours.
