REI’s across Australia recognise the sterling efforts that Residential and Commercial Property Managers continue to put in year after year. As we all know the challenges are never-ending. Our Property Managers have never been under so much pressure as in recent years, with ongoing skills shortages and this year’s rental crisis seeing things worsening before it gets better.
In an initiative driven by REINSW, join us (REINT) and the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) in showing your support and appreciation to all of our outstanding Property Managers and acknowledging how much help and support they have given to both their landlords and tenants.
Let’s celebrate together on Friday 21 July 2023 (Nationally).
How to Celebrate
- Showcase your star property managers;
- Share their accomplishments on your social channels using #nationalpropertymanagersday AND share them with REINSW and REINT for extra exposure; and
Organise a celebration of your own.

June 2023 – REINT CEO’s Update
In our endeavour to continually voice challenges and suggestions for change with the Government, I am happy to inform you of;
1) Regular attendance and speaking at ongoing series of roundtable discussion groups facilitated/moderated by the CEO Department of Chief Minister and Cabinet. Attended by senior industry representatives, the group focuses on social policy matters across NT with particular emphasis on crime and anti-social behavior along with risks associated.
2) The ever-increasing need for affordable housing which is consistently brought to the attention of relevant Ministers, Policy Advisory Groups and Opposition Senior Politicians. I will continue to submit updates and data on NT’s mortgage and rental affordability difficulties along with the need to assist the first home buyer segment. This is within the current scenario of high-interest rates and widening disparity of dwelling stock availability and demand.
I will be outcome focused with regular updates going forward.

On June 7-8 2023 the Industry Skills Advisory Council, NT Government and Group Training NT teamed up to bring a Vocational Education and Training Careers Expo to Darwin.
The event was attended by over 400 high school students in the Darwin region to learn about career pathways from the VET sector. The REINT was excited to be involved by hosting a booth to create exposure to the Real Estate industry and inviting REINT members to come along and engage with students and share their career stories.
Who better to inspire the next generation of Real Estate Professionals than our Amazing members? A huge THANK YOU to our members who volunteered their time to come and talk to high school students at the 2023 Vocational Education & Training Careers Expo for Industry in the NT.

Unleashing the Spirit of Collaboration
Last Friday the 16th of June was a typically beautiful dry season day on the fairways of the back nine at the Darwin Golf Club, which played host to the REINT Corporate Golf Day 2023. With an air of anticipation, a diverse group of REINT members and Partners gathered, ready to tee off a day of shared enthusiasm and spirited competition. Members and partners came together for a day filled with friendly competition, networking opportunities, a few beverages and shared experiences.
The golfers, ranging from seasoned pros to enthusiastic beginners, embarked on a 9-hole journey that tested their skills, patience, and strategic thinking. The tournament followed a “best ball” team Ambrose format, encouraging collaboration and teamwork among the participants. This format not only levelled the playing field but also created a friendly atmosphere that fostered interaction and relationship-building among colleagues and industry peers.
The REINT Corporate Golf Day presented an excellent platform for members and partners to expand their professional networks. After the on-course action, the day was punctuated by food, drinks, generous sponsor contributions, and a presentation ceremony including the ‘rolling of the dice’ to determine the best Nett Score winners. Longest-drive competitions, and closest-to-the-pin challenges, added an extra layer of excitement. Best Gross Prize was Sponsored by our Partners NT News, with goodie bags and a generous advertising voucher worth $1000 awarded to Raine & Horne Darwin’s “Birdies” Team. The Nett Prize sponsored by our 19th hole and Major partner for the day LAWLAB was 4x 3 Day passes to the Supercars 2023 valued at over $450.
The REINT Corporate Golf Day was, once again, a successful event with thanks to our members and Partners. Through friendly competition, engaging conversations, and shared experiences, the event succeeded in fostering collaboration, strengthening relationships, and creating a sense of community within the real estate industry. We look forward to next year as we look at a change of venue for a change of scenery, and new energy to the event.
Thank you once again REINT Partners:
See you in 2024!

Launch of ‘Build Skills’ Training Program.
By Aswin De Silva – REINT CEO
This a much-needed initiative to help our Property Manager cohort of members to meet work-related challenges.
In keeping with plans to continually listen to work-related challenges of our Property Manager (PM) membership and facilitate solutions, I am pleased to announce the commencement of the up-skilling training program under the ‘build skills’ banner. The initial batch of 22 PMs will be trained by a subject matter expert spanning several weeks. In-person training spanning several weeks commenced last week at our training facility.
This training program involves units of competency from the Diploma of Leadership and Management (BSB50420) qualification as follows:
- BSBCMM412 – Lead difficult conversations.
- BSBCMM511 – Communicate with influence.
- BSBOPS505 – Manage organisational customer service.
- BSBPEF502 – Develop and use emotional intelligence.
All attendees are to receive a ‘Statement of Attainment’ upon successful completion of the program.
Working closely with Industry Skills Advisory Council NT (SACNT), REINT was successful in obtaining a Northern Territory Government Build Skills Grant to sponsor a major component of the training cost. To ensure Agencies were not required to commit any monies, the balance part of the cost was absorbed by REINT. Therefore this program will be at zero cost to our members.
In conclusion, I thank Amelia Nuku, CEO and her team at ISACNT and our team member Sila Crosley for their assistance and commitment in ensuring this important initiative was a reality.
I would also like to thank and acknowledge the following Member Agencies who are participating in this valuable program:
- North Commercial NT
- North Property NT
- 1 on 1 Property Management
- Elaine Mills Property Management (EMPM)
- Get Realty
- Real Estate Central
