Do you know the AML/CTF Reform is underway?

Background

Australian AML/CTF regulation was first enacted in 2006, mandating Tranche 1 reporting entities to develop risk-based controls.

Current Reform

In December 2024, the AML/CTF Amendment Act received royal assent to modernise the regulatory framework.

New entities covered (Tranche 2):

  • Real estate professionals
  • Legal professionals
  • Accounting professionals
  • Trust & company service providers
  • Dealers in precious metals and stones

Eighteen years, then two

The record from 2006 to today. Almost every change sits in the last two years.
