AUSTRAC – Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF obligations) - real estate entities requirements to report and meet their obligations
As you would be aware from 1 July 2026, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations will be increased to apply to real estate agents and buyers agents. This means that real estate agency businesses will be required to enrol and register with the Australian Government Agency, AUSTRAC to meet their AML/CTF regulatory requirements.
The Board acknowledges that meeting these regulatory requirements will require resourcing to meet your reporting obligations to AUSTRAC. Whilst this is totally separate framework to the Board’s function of regulating property agents in Tasmania, the Board notes that AUSTRAC has a suite of information and other resources available at its website which can be found here: https://www.austrac.gov.au/about-us/amlctf-reform.
The Board encourages you to regularly review AUSTRAC’s website and reach out to trusted training providers or contracted suppliers who will assist your real estate agency business in meeting your ongoing requirements and obligations.
