8 July – AML/CTF – In Place and In Practice

Australia’s new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) reforms commence on 1 July 2026, bringing new compliance obligations for real estate businesses. While the implementation may seem significant, the good news is that much of what AML/CTF governance requires is already part of good real estate practice – knowing your client, understanding transactions and identifying when something doesn’t add up.

Session Content:

• Differing roles and responsibilities within the agency
• Due Diligence Distinctions
• Conversations & Objections
• Red Flag Indicators
• Case studies of real-life Money Laundering/Terrorism Financing (ML/TF)
• AUSTRAC’s expectations of ‘new reporting entities’ (Real Estate Agencies)

Presenter – Trish Johnson
