QLD Real Estate Industry Focus on New Campaign - Fair Work Ombudsman

This email below was provided to Real Estate Excellence from http://www.qpir.com.au/
Stacey,

We understand that your organisation may have contact with a significant number of employers in Queensland's 'real estate industry'. The Fair Work Ombudsman (the Federal workplace relations regulator) has commenced a 'targeted' compliance campaign IN QUEENSLAND ONLY focused on the existence, or otherwise, of agreements registered with QPIR, as required by the Real Estate Industry Award 2010 (award).


Attached is a media release about the compliance campaign, an extract from the award, and information about industry-specific agreement suppliers. A complete copy of the award may be downloaded from www.qpir.com.au/award. The award defines the real estate industry as:



'. . . the provision of services associated with sales, acquisitions, leasing and/or management of residential, commercial, retail, industrial, recreational, hotel, retirement and any other leasehold or real property and/or businesses. Such services include:

* real estate agency;

* business and hotel broking;

* strata and community title management (or similar service however described);

* stock and station agency;

* buyers agency; and

* real estate valuation.'


I would ask that you consider forwarding this email (especially including the attachment) to any Queensland-based 'real estate industry' employers in your database.

Questions from such employers about agreement registration generally should be directed to QPIR Administration (P: 07 3219 7622; E: admin@qpir.com.au ). Alternatively REEA members may contact me direct (M: 0411 208 794; P: 07 3376 1397; E: bsiebenhausen@reea.org.au ). Those employers who are not REEA members are requested to visit www.reea.org.au/membership  and complete a membership application before contacting me.



Regards,

BRUCE SIEBENHAUSEN.

Chairman, QPIR

Secretary/Treasurer, Real Estate Employers' Association (REEA)
