Add-On Workshops for Dual Licence Holders & Agents Working Across Multiple Areas of Practice

If you hold more than one licence category or carry out work across multiple areas of practice, you may be required to complete additional compulsory CPD topics to meet NSW Fair Trading requirements.

Our Add-On Workshops have been designed to help you complete only the additional compulsory topics required for your other licence category or area(s) of practice, without repeating topics you've already completed.

If you're unsure which add-on workshop you need, our team can help you identify the correct training based on your licence category and the areas of practice you undertake.

 


 

Class 1 Agents – Additional NSW Fair Trading Accredited Event (Part 1)

Class 1 licence holders are required to attend a 5-Hour NSW Fair Trading accredited event as part of their annual CPD obligations.

Think Real Estate is now approved by NSW Fair Trading to deliver this accredited event for the 2026–27 CPD year.

View available workshop dates and book your place below.

 

Part 2 – AUSTRAC Anti-Money Laundering (AML/CTF) Training

Class 1 licence holders working in the relevant areas of practice* must also complete AUSTRAC’s “Smart real estate agent’s guide to AML/CTF” training.

This is a separate requirement from the 5-hour NSW Fair Trading accredited event and the compulsory CPD topics delivered by NSW Fair Trading Approved Providers.

 

AUSTRAC training can be completed through either:

  • AUSTRAC’s self-paced online learning program; or
  • AUSTRAC’s train-the-trainer delivery model.

If completing the training through AUSTRAC’s self-paced program, licence holders should retain their completion certificate. If completing it through the train-the-trainer model, they should retain records confirming completion of the training.

 

Relevant areas of practice

  • Residential Real Estate Sales
  • Buyers Agency
  • Commercial Real Estate
  • Business Broking
  • Stock and Station Agency

 

Important: The mandatory CPD topic Supervision Guidelines and AML/CTF in agency practice remains a separate CPD requirement. It focuses on the practical application of supervision, governance, systems, controls and AML/CTF obligations within agency practice.

Failure to comply with CPD requirements may result in fines of up to $11,000, or the suspension or cancellation of a licence or certificate.

Licensed agents must complete all compulsory requirements relevant to their licence category and area of practice.
