For two decades, Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regime focused primarily on banks and casinos.

Not anymore.

Under the transformational Tranche 2 reforms, the gatekeepers of high-value transactions are now being held to the same disciplined controls. If your business provides professional services or deals in virtual assets, the regime applies to you—even if you never touch physical cash.

If you or your firm handle any of the following, compliance is no longer optional:

  • Legal and Conveyancing Solutions
  • Accounting and Financial Professionals
  • Trust and Company Providers
  • Real Estate and Buyer's Agents
  • Precious Metals and Stones Dealers
  • Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)
