Check if you may be regulated

From 1 July 2026, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) law will be extended to certain services typically provided by:

Including:

  • real estate agents and property developers
  • dealers in precious stones, metals and products
  • lawyers
  • conveyancers
  • accountants
  • trust and company service providers.

Additional virtual asset-related services will also come under AML/CTF law from 31 March 2026. To check if your business may be regulated under this expansion of Australia’s AML/CTF law, answer some questions about the services your business provides. You may have AML/CTF obligations if you provide one of the listed services and also have a geographical link to Australia. We published reforms guidance in October 2025 to assist businesses. Sector-specific guidance for tranche 2 entities will be released at the end of January 2026. Learn more about new industries and services to be regulated.
