New Tranche 2 AML / CTF compliance legislation comes into effect in 2026 to prevent, detect and disrupt money laundering and terrorism financing. This means changes to the way conveyancers and lawyers finalise property transactions.
From July 1, 2026, every property laywer and conveyancer will need to use an AML / CTF compliance program to verify the identity of your clients and ensure the money used in every property transaction comes from legitimate sources. You’ll also need to report high-risk activities to Australia’s financial intelligence unit and regulator, AUSTRAC.
