This week we’re joined by Tim Lane, Executive Manager of Policy & Advocacy at REIWA, to unpack the incoming Anti Money Laundering reforms and what they actually mean for WA real estate agents.

From July 2026, many agents will fall under the AML/CTF regime for the first time. That means new compliance obligations, new processes, and very real consequences if you get it wrong.

In this episode, we cover:

• What the new AML reforms are and why real estate is now in scope

• Which real estate activities and businesses are affected

• What agents will need to do differently day to day

• Customer due diligence, reporting obligations and record keeping in plain English

• Common concerns REIWA is hearing from WA agents

• What agents should be doing now to avoid a last-minute scramble

If you’re a sales agent, business owner or running an agency in WA, this is one episode you don’t want to skip.
