Anti-Money Laundering New Reporting Entities Essentials (AUS Version)
$27.50 inc. GST
This course introduces staff in newly regulated Tranche 2 businesses to Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime. Learners come away understanding what money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing look like in practice, why criminals target their profession, and which of their organisation’s services fall under the regime. The course walks through personal obligations when dealing with clients, how to carry out customer due diligence, how to spot and report suspicious activity, and why tipping off a client is a criminal offence.
Built for Australian workplaces newly captured by the AML/CTF reforms, the course focuses on day-to-day obligations rather than program design or compliance oversight. Learners receive an instant digital certificate on completion, giving individuals and their organisations a clear record of training completed.
This course will take approximately 63 minutes to complete.
Why is the Anti-Money Laundering New Reporting Entities Essentials Training Important?
Many Australian businesses are subject to AML/CTF obligations for the first time. Staff providing designated services now carry direct personal obligations under the law, and the risk of non-compliance sits with every individual handling client transactions and information — not just the compliance team.
Under the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024, staff involved in providing designated services must conduct customer due diligence, escalate suspicious activity through internal channels, and keep any suspicious matter report strictly confidential. These obligations took effect for newly regulated entities from 1 July 2026.
This course gives staff a working understanding of what the law requires of them personally, so day-to-day client interactions become the first line of defence rather than a compliance blind spot.
