Anti-Money Laundering: Advanced Course (AUS Version)

Why is the Anti-Money Laundering Training Course Important?

Money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing carry serious reputational, operational, legal and financial risk — for the organisation, its managers and its employees. A single control failure or missed reporting obligation can expose a business to regulatory action and lasting reputational damage.

Australia’s AML/CTF regime has undergone major reform. New obligations are now in effect for existing reporting entities, and the full suite of reforms commences for newly regulated Tranche 2 professions — legal, accounting and real estate — on 1 July 2026, with enrolment required between 31 March and 29 June 2026 under the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024.

This course helps organisations meet these obligations by building the practical understanding staff need to identify red flags, apply AML/CTF program requirements, and report correctly — reducing organisational risk and supporting compliance with the law.
