What is an RPA Accredited Agent?

An RPA Accredited Agent must demonstrate to the RPA that they have the knowledge, integrity, competence, and professionalism to justify being classified as an RPA Accredited Agent, and they must maintain these standards, and comply with the RPA Agent Charter, at all times.

What is the RPA Agent Charter?

The RPA considers the interests of players are enhanced by maintaining standards of knowledge, integrity, competence, and professionalism in this space. As such, the RPA introduced the RPA Agent Charter to facilitate access to agent advice and support in a manner that the RPA considers protects the interests of players and that is fair and reasonable to those wishing to provide such services.
