- If you are looking for a specific decision with a forward slash in the title (eg, 123/2014), you will need to replace the forward slash with a space (eg, 123 2014), as the website cannot pick up on forward slashes (/) or any other characters.
- If you are doing a keyword search (eg, conduct), please note that this search will only produce decisions where the keyword appears in the title or decision description. If you want to search the entire decision document for certain keywords, you will need to use full website search located in the top right hand corner of this page.
- If you want to search for a specific section of the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 or rule in the Professional Rules 2012, you must search it as one word with no spaces or brackets. For example, if searching for section 110A(2)(a) of the Act, you should enter ‘s110A2a’ into the keyword search and if searching for rule 6.4 of the Professional Rules, you should enter ‘r6.4’.
If you want to search for a decision from a particular jurisdiction using the full website search, put both the jurisdiction name and the keyword in the search field (eg, Real Estate Agents Disciplinary Tribunal).
