As a result of reforms to Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime, legal practices that provide designated services will have new regulatory obligations as of 1 July 2026.

These services are defined in section 6 of the amended AML/CTF Act and include, for example, assisting a client with a property transaction, assisting a client to buy or sell a business or selling or transferring a shelf company.

The Law Society’s self-paced course Preparing your practice for Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regime will assist you to prepare your practice for changes to Australia’s AML/CTF legislation. It is suitable for a wide range of audiences, including early career lawyers, senior staff needing to engage with the day-to-day management of AML/CTF compliance, and principal practitioners.  

The course comprises 12 chapters and will help you to understand:

  • Australia’s AML/CTF regime.
  • What a ‘designated service’ means under the amended AML Act.
  • What solicitors captured by the regime will need to do.

Our on-demand interactive courses allow you to save your progress and learn to your own schedule. Courses include interactive and engaging content, knowledge checks and links to essential resources.

Money laundering is a serious crime designed to obscure the criminal origins of funds by making those proceeds appear to have come from legitimate sources. It facilitates many serious crimes, including the financing of terrorist acts, terrorists and terrorist organisations. Every one of these crimes harms innocent and vulnerable people.

Are you aware of the legal practice risks and your professional obligations relating to money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF)? Do you know how to identify and manage red flags to strengthen your practice?

The Law Society’s self-paced course will give you the knowledge to understand:

  • What is meant by ML and TF.
  • The purpose and scope of the current anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing regime.
  • The risks to your own practice in relation to ML and TF.
  • Your professional obligations to prevent the enablement of ML and TF.
  • How to identify and respond to any red flags relating to ML and TF when acting for current and prospective clients.
