From 1 July 2026, Australia's AML/CTF regime extends to Tranche 2 businesses - and conveyancers and conveyancing practices are squarely in scope when they provide a designated service. AML/CTF Compliance helps you meet the new obligations without building everything from a blank page.
When are conveyancers captured?
You are captured when you provide a designated service under the AML/CTF regime. For conveyancers, that typically includes assisting a client to buy, sell or transfer real estate, and handling the associated funds and settlement. Not every activity is a designated service, so the built-in Tranche 2 readiness check helps you work out whether, and for which services, you are captured. Confirm your position against AUSTRAC guidance.
What you need to have in place
- Enrol with AUSTRAC as a reporting entity.
- An AML/CTF Program - a business-wide ML/TF risk assessment plus the policies, procedures, systems and controls that manage those risks.
- An AML/CTF Compliance Officer to own the program.
- Customer due diligence - identify and verify customers and beneficial owners before you provide a designated service, and keep it current.
- Reporting - lodge suspicious matter reports, and any threshold or international transfer reports, on time.
- Records, training and an independent review at appropriate intervals.
How AML/CTF Compliance helps conveyancers
It turns the obligations into a workflow: build and maintain your AML/CTF Program from guided templates, run structured CDD with PEP and sanctions screening, score your ML/TF risk across customers, services, channels and jurisdictions, track your AUSTRAC reporting register, and export a review-ready report for your independent reviewer or principal. Everything stays in your browser - the contents of your program and CDD files are never uploaded.
