We congratulate the Queensland Law Society (QLS), Australian Property Institute Valuers Limited (APIV) and RICS Valuers Limited (RICSV) on the approval of their new Professional Standards Schemes.

The decision to award a Professional Standards Scheme recognises these associations’ commitment to the improvement of professional standards and the protection of Australian consumers.

On Monday 3 April, our chair, Mr Brian Rayment QC presented QLS, APIV and RICSV with a certificate at a presentation ceremony distinguishing the associations and their members as a recognised profession.
