QPIR represents a first-ever in Australia's Real Estate Industry.  It is a collaboration between two industrial organisations - (Queensland's) Real Estate Employers' Association (REEA), and the Property Sales Association of Queensland (PSAQ), which represents employees.

The Role of the Queensland Property Industry Registry (QPIR)

QPIR is authorised by both the State & Federal Industrial Commissions as the registry for written agreements within Queensland's Real Estate Industry.  In support of this process, QPIR provides information to both employers and employees on agreement-making.  QPIR can also assist employers and employees with some questions related to:

• the (Federal) Real Estate Industry Award 2010;
• the (State) Property Management and Property Sales Awards;
• the National Employment Standards; and
• registration of Independent Contractor arrangements,

as they apply to Queensland's Real Estate Industry.

The QPIR office is located in Rochedale South, at the northern end of Logan City.  Feel free to call QPIR on 07 3219 7622.  Our office is usually open between 9.00 AM and 3.00 PM (AEST) Monday to Friday.

Collaboration between REEA and the PSAQ

The collaboration between REEA and the PSAQ formalises a working relationship that began in 1974, and has been progressively enhanced since 1994.  Around that time, employer and employee representatives, in consultation with the major franchise/marketing groups and the REIQ, agreed that:

1. Industrial representation in the industry should be handled by industry; and
2. This objective was best served if the industrial organisations could:
   • discuss and resolve their differences, rather than fighting them out in the courts; and
   • develop employment solutions that worked to the benefit of both employers and their employees.

So, even though QPIR was only formed in November 2005, the people behind QPIR have long history of co-operation.

Just as importantly, members of the independent Committees of Management of both REEA and the PSAQ have long-term industry experience and are elected by their peers from within Queensland's Real Estate Industry, so we understand the industry's employment needs, and will do our best to achieve the results you desire.

The people at QPIR listen, understand and can respond to your needs, to try and find the ‘right fit’ for each employment situation.

QPIR welcomes you!

Please contact the QPIR office if you have any questions.
