The current Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act (section 161) below sets out what a person can do without being registered salespeople. (Note that this is the only certificate name for those in property management, commercial and business broking).
161 Pretending to be real estate salesperson
(1) A person must not act as a real estate salesperson unless the
person holds a registration certificate (real estate salesperson).
Maximum penalty—200 penalty units.
(2) A person does not act as a real estate salesperson only because
the person, while performing duties as an employee of a real
estate agent at the real estate agent’s registered office or other
place of business—
(a) collects, and issues receipts for, rents; or
(b) gives a person a list, prepared by or for the real estate
agent, of premises available for rent; or
(c) does something of an administrative nature in relation to
a thing the real estate agent does as a real estate agent.
(3) In this section—
act as a real estate salesperson, for a person, includes hold
out that the person is a real estate salesperson.
Please note that the future Property Agents Act (soon to be introduced) will have the same provision in Section 109.
