Advocacy
REINSW advocacy is focused on lobbying for a fair and sensible framework for the property industry and for consumers. We strive to represent member interests, ensuring members' views are heard at the highest levels.


Residential Tenancies Act - REINSW submission

REINSW’s submission in response to the proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act is now available.

The Residential Tenancies Bill 2009 has not yet been introduced into parliament, but it is expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 2010. A further submission will be lodged once the draft Residential Tenancies Regulation is released some time in 2010.

REINSW has conducted extensive media and awareness campaigns on the review, including meeting with both the Minister and Shadow Minister for Fair Trading and with senior officials of the OFT. REINSW will continue to pursue all available avenues to keep lobbying on behalf of members to secure the best possible outcome.

Political Advisory Committee

The Political Advisory Committee (PAC) is the engine room for REINSW's political lobbying. PAC's chief role is to strategically advise the REINSW Board on issues that impact our profession, such as housing affordability, property investment and changes to the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (NSW).


Review of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act

The Office of Fair Trading has undertaken a statutory review of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (NSW). The purpose of the review was to determine whether the policy objectives of the Act remain valid and whether the terms of the Act remain appropriate for securing those objectives. REINSW has engaged in extensive consultation with a view to raising a range of issues and concerns on behalf of members and the industry.
