Check if you’ll be regulated
From 1 July 2026, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) law will be extended to certain services typically provided by:
- real estate agents and property developers
- dealers in precious stones, metals and products
- lawyers
- conveyancers
- accountants
- trust and company service providers.
Additional virtual asset-related services will also come under AML/CTF law from 31 March 2026.
To check if your business may be regulated under this expansion of Australia’s AML/CTF law, answer some questions about the services your business provides.
You may have AML/CTF obligations if you provide one of the listed services and also have a geographical link to Australia.
AUSTRAC will release further guidance to assist businesses in 2025.
