ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANT?

AUSTRAC's 2026 deadline is approaching. Your agency must meet AML/CTF obligations under the new reforms — start preparation now to stay compliant and audit-ready.

Mandatory AML/CTF compliance for real estate

From 1 July 2026, every real-estate agency, buyer's agent, and conveyancer must comply with AUSTRAC's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing reforms.

Non-compliance brings civil penalties and regulatory scrutiny.

Preparing now gives your agency certainty — policies in place, records secure, and operations audit-ready before enforcement begins.

Know your obligations

Under AUSTRAC's reforms, your agency must implement and maintain these core AML/CTF controls:

Customer Due Diligence

Verify the identity of every buyer and seller before services are provided.

Risk Assessment

Evaluate and document each client's money-laundering and terrorism-financing risk.

Record Keeping

Retain verification data and transaction records for at least seven years.

Suspicious Matter Reporting

Report suspicious activity to AUSTRAC within 24 hours.
