AML/CTF Reform

From 31 March 2026, new services and entities will begin coming under AUSTRAC regulation following reforms to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) laws. The reformed laws also impact current reporting entities.

The laws reform Australia’s AML/CTF regime to ensure it can more effectively deter, detect and disrupt money laundering and terrorism financing, as well as meet international standards.
