Conveyancing is a licensed occupation. Licensing regimes for conveyancers differ between States and Territories in Australia.

Following the completion of your Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing with AALE, and if you wish to work as a Licensed Conveyancer, you will be required to:

1. Complete one (1) year of practical experience in full-time conveyancing work under the supervision of an unrestricted licensee or Australian legal practitioner; and
2. Submit an application with Service NSW

to obtain an restricted conveyancing license.

You will be required to organise your own practical experience and submit an application. AALE will not assist with the same.
