You must be registered to work as a salesperson for a real estate agent.
If you are an insolvent under administration, you will need to attach a letter from your current employer, on their company letterhead, that:
outlines your role in the company
states if you will be in a position to significantly influence how they manage their business.
You must also explain in writing:
how you became an insolvent under administration (if this was your business, also advise the type of business)
what steps you took to avoid going into insolvency
how much you owe to each creditor (list them all by name and amount)
whether you faced any charges relating to the insolvency.

You can't apply for a real estate salesperson registration if you:
are currently disqualified from holding a licence or registration
have been convicted of a serious offence within the past 5 years.
We also consider if you:
have a criminal history
were the subject of a successful claim fund action
have had your licence or registration cancelled or suspended, or have ever been disqualified from holding one
are disqualified from being a company director
are an insolvent under administration
are unsuitable because of your character or your inability to satisfactorily do the job
are not allowed to work in Australia.
You will need to pay the required fees when you lodge your application.
We'll submit your application to the Queensland Police Service for a criminal history check. This check may take some time.
If you were born in New Zealand or have a New Zealand passport, contact the New Zealand Ministry of Justice for a copy of your criminal history or a letter showing you have no criminal history in New Zealand.
Please note this information about New Zealand criminal history checks:
It takes 20 working days to process a request.
The check is free.
We can only accept original documents that are dated within 1 month of the date you send them to us.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to a partial refund if you withdraw your application or we refuse it.
If the criminal history check hasn't started, you may also get a refund of that fee.
