Seven rapid-fire interviews. No panels. No death by PowerPoint. Just the people who are actually shaping the future of conveyancing—talking candidly about what's coming.
Hosted by TV presenters Angelique Opie and Amber Sherlock, each interview will be filmed and released as a podcast episode. You'll be in the room where it happens.

There are issues burning beneath the surface of the sector. We examine a bucket list of challenges to be addressed.
AML/CTF law reform

AIC NSW President's Bucket List
Jennie Tonner shares the burning issues she has in her sights and is ready to tackle during her tenure. Legal parity, short-term loans, deposit holders, unseemly haste and the end game.
AML/CTF: Under the Bonnet
The industry’s hottest topic right now. How did we get here? How do we compare with other jurisdictions around the world? The rigour of what is happening and where it will lead this sector. Compliance at what cost? With Tim Lear, a senior policy operative at AUSTRAC overseeing law reform. And we speak with Neil Jeans, Risk Consultant Partner at Grant Thornton and part of the advisory group for the Tranche 2 AML/CTF starter kits.
Liveability And Our Changing Communities
The facades of our cities, towns and states are changing. As communities change and their need to access life’s amenities intensifies, infrastructure has had to follow suit. There’s little appeal to sitting in traffic. People want to make down time the best time of their lives. The road, tunnel and rail networks are in effect, shrinking big cities. It doesn’t take as long to travel from the mountains to the sea. So what has all this meant for small business and what impact has it had on property? We discuss the vision and hypotheticals.
Conveyancing 2.0: The Future Structure
As change lands on the sector, what will be its impact? Once considered a cottage industry for some - a constellation of small or lone operators - is the sector likely to see fewer small firms and more larger ones? The changes loading up on the industry may well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for those finding it challenging to balance time, service and profile.
