The 1 July 2026 AML/CTF compliance deadline is just five weeks away.
For conveyancers and property lawyers figuring out where to start, there is still time to get your program in place, your workflows built, and your team ready.
This June, triSearch is running five complimentary events to help you do exactly that. A hands-on enrolment workshop in partnership with Grant Thornton Australia, three CPD-eligible webinars covering the compliance workflows your practice needs to have in place, and an open cross-sector forum with speakers from AUSTRAC, NSW Law Society, Grant Thornton, and more.
Here is what is on and what you will get out of each one:
1. Hands-on AML/CTF Enrolment Workshop
If your AML/CTF program is not yet in place, this is the session to prioritise.
triSearch has partnered with Grant Thornton Australia to deliver a hands-on workshop built specifically for the conveyancers and property lawyers. It is endorsed by the Australian Institute of Conveyancers NSW Division (AICNSW) and open to all practitioners across Australia.
The session is introduced by Jennie Tonner, Licensed Conveyancer, AICNSW President, and REINSW Board Member, who will ask questions on behalf of the industry throughout the session.
Your expert speaker is Richard Storey, a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) and Partner in Grant Thornton’s Risk Consulting practice. Richard will guide you through:
- AUSTRAC enrolment, step by step
- Roles, governance, and Personnel Due Diligence obligations
- Risk assessment, policy, and procedures
- Client onboarding workflows
- Staff training and implementation planning
You will need access to triSearch the Compliance Centre and Zoom for this session.
By the end of the session, you’ll have your draft risk assessment, policy and
procedures, and AUTSRAC enrolment completed. Attendees are eligible to claim 3 CPD points on completion.
2. AML/CTF Onboarding for Non-Individuals Webinar
Onboarding a company, trust, or other non-individual entity is not the same as onboarding an individual. The verification requirements are different, the beneficial ownership obligations are more complex, and the documentation standards are higher. Many practices working with corporate clients or family trusts are not yet across what is actually required.
This session walks through exactly what you need to collect, how to verify it, and what your records need to show for non-individual clients, including a live walkthrough of the onboarding workflow in the triSearch Compliance Centre. Attendees are eligible to claim 1 CPD point.
3. AML/CTF Customer Due Diligence Workflow Webinar
Customer due diligence (CDD) is one of the most frequently misapplied parts of the AML/CTF framework. Practices often over-collect, under-document, or apply the wrong level of scrutiny for the client’s risk profile.
This session breaks down what a compliant CDD workflow looks like from first contact through to ongoing monitoring, and shows you how the triSearch Compliance Centre supports each stage of the process. If you are unsure whether your current approach is solid, this session will give you a clear picture. Attendees are eligible to claim 1 CPD point.
4. AML/CTF Reliance Webinar
AML/CTF does not have to be an added cost to your business. When used correctly, reliance can reduce duplicated effort across transactions, strengthen referral relationships, and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
This session covers what reliance is, when it applies, and how to implement it through the triSearch Compliance Centre, including how to structure reliance agreements with real estate agents and referral partners. Includes a live demonstration and open Q&A. Attendees are eligible to claim 1 CPD point.
5. The Industry Collective Speaks Event
The Industry Collective Speaks is the first cross-sector AML/CTF forum to bring together accounting, real estate, legal, and conveyancing professionals in the one room.
Every other conversation about Tranche 2 has happened within a single profession, in isolation. This one does not.
Hosted by InfoTrack and open to all Australian practitioners, the session brings together six industry experts:
- Brendan Thomas, CEO of AUSTRAC
- Jennie Tonner, President of AICNSW
- Bobbie Wan, Head of Regulatory Policy and Strategy at The NSW Law Society
- Nicole Unger, General Counsel at REINSW
- Richard Storey, Partner, Risk Consulting at Grant Thornton
- Jill Muir, Senior Policy Advocate at CA ANZ
The 90-minute session opens with AUSTRAC setting the regulatory context, what is expected, what will be monitored, and what a risk-based approach means for practices of different sizes. A moderated cross-sector panel follows, with 20 minutes of live audience Q&A.
You will leave with a clearer picture of where your firm sits relative to peers, what a program that would withstand AUSTRAC review actually looks like, and concrete next steps to close any gaps before 1 July.
If you have one question you have not been able to get a straight answer on, this is the session to bring it to. Attendees are eligible to claim 1.5 CPD points.
