Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Licensed agents moving between Australian states can work without applying for new licences under the Automatic Mutual Recognition scheme.

Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR) is a system that allows licensed agents to move between Australian states and continue working without the need to apply for a completely new licence.

Who it's for

This scheme is for licensed agents who are moving their professional practice from one Australian state to another.

What you get

You gain the ability to work in a different state without the time and effort required to undergo the full process of applying for a brand-new licence.

What it costs you

There is no extra fee to use this system. Your only requirement is to notify the local regulator that you are using the mutual recognition process.

The catch to know

Even though your licence is recognized, you must still follow all the specific property laws and regulations that apply in the state where you are currently working.

How to apply

  1. Confirm your current licence is valid in your home state.
  2. Contact the regulator in the state where you intend to work.
  3. Notify them that you are seeking recognition under the AMR scheme.
  4. Follow their specific instructions for notification.
