Legislation & Compliance Support

BuddyBee has been loaded with legislation and regulations from every Australian state and territory. This means you can chat with the Agent in BuddyBee and get clear, reliable answers on your compliance obligations - without needing to interpret lengthy Acts or regulations yourself.

With this coverage, agents can use BuddyBee to:

  • Ask about tenancy rights and obligations.
  • Check licensing and conduct rules for agents.
  • Confirm land, conveyancing, and title requirements.
  • Get guidance on safety, privacy, and workplace compliance.
  • Stay current with fair trading and consumer law.

A nationwide compliance resource

Because real estate is regulated at the state and territory level, the legislation that applies can differ widely depending on where you operate. BuddyBee’s Knowledge Base has been structured to reflect this reality. Each jurisdiction’s tenancy, property, and agency laws are included, along with supporting legislation covering tax, safety, and privacy.

This creates a single, practical resource for agents working across different markets, or those who simply want confidence that their day-to-day actions meet local compliance requirements.

Agents in the ACT can ask BuddyBee about tenancy rules under the Residential Tenancies Act, title transfers under the Land Titles Act, or agency requirements under the Agents Act.

Why this matters

By embedding this legislation into BuddyBee, agents no longer need to search across multiple government websites or interpret dense regulatory language. Instead, they can:

  • Ask a direct question in Chat — e.g. “What notice period applies if a tenant falls behind on rent in Queensland?”
  • Get a plain-language response that references the right legislation.
  • Be confident they are acting in line with their legal obligations.

This approach saves time, reduces compliance risk, and gives agents the confidence to focus on their clients while knowing they are operating within the law.
