CPD courses

Following the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024  in December 2024, the Law Society of NSW has increased efforts in educating the profession about the AML/CTF reforms (known as Tranche 2 reforms), and what solicitors can do now to ready their practice for 1 July 2026, when obligations under the AML/CTF Act will commence for certain solicitors and law practices. 

As part of the next phase of helping you to prepare your practice for changes to Australia’s AML/CTF legislation, the Law Society of NSW has made available a new on-demand interactive course, Preparing your practice for Australia’s AML/CTF regime. 

The online, self-paced courses are suitable for a wide range of audiences, including early career lawyers, senior staff needing to engage with the day-to-day management of AML/CTF compliance, and principal practitioners. 

The courses are complimentary. See link below for details.
