AML/CTF Reforms Unpacked: Practical Strategies for all reporting entities

Practical AML/CTF Tranche 2 webinar unpacking AUSTRAC expectations, compliance obligations and implementation steps for reporting entities.

What is AML/CTF Tranche 2?

Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing framework is expanding under the AML/CTF Tranche 2 reforms. These reforms extend AML obligations beyond the financial sector to a broader range of professional services and non-financial businesses.


The reforms introduce new expectations across risk assessment, customer due diligence, reporting, governance and staff training. 
 

Who does AML/CTF Tranche 2 apply to?

AML Tranche 2 applies to organisations and professionals whose services may be exposed to money laundering or terrorism financing risk, including: 

  • Accountants and accounting firms 
  • Lawyers and legal practices 
  • Real estate agents and property professionals 
  • Trust and company service providers 
  • Dealers in precious metals, stones and high-value goods 
  • Corporate service providers 
  • Professional advisers involved in complex or high-value transactions 

 

If your services involve handling client funds, structuring transactions, or facilitating arrangements on behalf of clients, AML/CTF obligations now apply. 

AML/CTF Courses

Courses are self-paced, scenario-driven, and suitable for front-line staff, managers, and senior leaders. They can be combined to create a structured, risk-based AML/CTF learning program.

Why AML Tranche 2 matters

Under the Tranche 2 reforms, organisations must be able to demonstrate that they: 

  • Identify and assess AML/CTF risks 
  • Maintain an AML/CTF program 
  • Conduct customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring 
  • Report suspicious matters to AUSTRAC 
  • Train staff and maintain compliance oversight 

 

Training is a core control relied upon by AUSTRAC to evidence good governance and, accountability. Training ensures your staff under their AML/CTF obligations as well as the policies and procedures staff must follow to manage and mitigate your organisations ML/CT risks. Inadequate staff awareness increases regulatory, reputational and operational risk. 

When do the changes take effect?

AML Tranche 2 reforms are being implemented in stages, with key regulatory milestones occurring in 31 March 2026 and 1 July 2026

Organisations should be preparing now to ensure staff understand their obligations ahead of enforcement activity.

Why AML Training is Essential for Staff in Pubs and Clubs

Australia’s pubs and clubs are more than just places for socialising – when they provide certain financial services, such as operating gaming machines or facilitating electronic funds transfers, they’re also considered reporting entities under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Act 2006. This means they have serious obligations to detect and prevent financial crime.
