If you have recently undergone a change in your career within the valuation profession, you may be eligible for an exemption under the Australian Property Institute Valuers (APIV) Scheme. Additionally, certain exemptions from Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements may also apply to your specific circumstances.

The APIV Scheme provides a structured framework to support valuers in different professional roles while ensuring compliance with industry standards. To accommodate career shifts, exemptions are available for professionals who fall under specific categories, including:

  • Non-Practicing Valuers: If you are no longer engaged in valuation activities, you may qualify for an exemption from CPD obligations.
  • Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) Employees: Valuers employed solely within an ADI may be eligible for an exemption under the scheme.
  • 100% Internal Government Employees: Those working exclusively for government entities and not conducting valuations for external parties may also qualify.
  • 100% No Recourse Valuations: If your role strictly involves non-recourse valuations, an exemption may be applicable.

Recent changes to our CPD policy mean that most APIV exemptions also entitle the member to an exemption from the compulsory Risk Management module.

To determine your eligibility for an exemption, we encourage you to review the detailed information available on our website. If you believe you meet the criteria, we ask you to contact us to discuss and finalise any applicable exemptions.

Ensuring that your professional standing aligns with your current career trajectory is essential, and we are here to guide you through the process. For further assistance or to clarify your eligibility, please reach out to our team today.
