New AML/CTF laws are now in effect.
From 1 July 2026, Australian real estate agencies are required by law to verify the identity of buyers and sellers as part of the property transaction process.
The good news? The verification process is completed entirely online, takes just a few minutes, and thereβs no app to download.
These new requirements help verify identities, reduce the risk of fraud, and support Australiaβs Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws.
