🛡️ DID YOU KNOW? NEW AML & CTF LAWS ARE CHANGING PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS FROM 1 JULY 2026 🛡️
If you're buying or selling property in Australia, there are important new requirements you need to know about.
From 1 July 2026, real estate businesses are required to comply with Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) legislation as part of the Federal Government's Tranche 2 reforms.
What does this mean for you?
✅ You will likely be asked to verify your identity.
✅ You may be required to provide information about the source of your funds.
✅ Your real estate agency and the agents acting on your behalf must be registered and operating in compliance with Australia's AML and CTF framework.
✅ These requirements apply to both buyers and sellers and are now a standard part of compliant property transactions.
There is no way around these obligations. Identity verification and customer due diligence are mandatory components of property transactions captured under the new legislation.
