Real estate agents: 1 July is 12 days away. Here’s what that actually means for your agency.
From 1 July 2026, agents become reporting entities under the AML/CTF Act. New obligations come with that - client verification, risk assessment, record-keeping, and an AML/CTF Program your agency needs to have in place.
There’s also a 28-day window after commencement to enrol with AUSTRAC. That closes 29 July.
None of this needs to be overwhelming. There are practical tools in the legislation designed to help - particularly for agencies that work alongside a conveyancer. And the earlier you understand your position, the more straightforward the path forward becomes.
We’ll be sharing practical guidance over the coming weeks. If you’d rather just have a conversation now, our details are in the profile.
