AUSTRAC Webinars - Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing

16/07/2025

From 1 July 2026, the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime will be expanding and extending to the legal profession (see the President’s messages on 23 May 2025, 7 April 2025, and 29 November 2024 about how the AML/CTF regime will affect barristers). The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) is still consulting stakeholders, including the NSW Bar Association, regarding the implementation of this reform. However, members may wish to benefit from a series of introductory webinars hosted by AUSTRAC, which have been developed to help new reporting entities, including legal practices, understand the key concepts in relation to the AML/CTF regime.
