Are you captured by Australia's AML/CTF reforms?
If you provide services such as forming trusts or companies, allowing clients to use the address of your practice as their principal place of business, you will need to comply with Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime.
By 1 July 2026 you will need to be enrolled with AUSTRAC and have an effective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) program.
AUSTRAC's William Morris, Director of Guidance and Leeann King, Director of Industry Education and Outreach outlined your obligations and how you can start preparing your practice, your team and yourself now in a recent webinar.
