Quick Reference Guide: Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing
From 1 July 2026, Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Act 2006 (Cth) (AML/CTF Act) and associated Rules capture certain high-risk services provided by real estate professionals, professional services providers (such as lawyers, conveyancers, accountants and trust and company service providers) and dealers in precious metals and stones.
This brings Australia more in line with international standards developed by the Financial Action Task Force.
This guide provides an overview of the framework and practical tips for good compliance for new reporting entities.
