Builders and developers in real estate have anti-money laundering obligations
From 1 July 2026, some property developers, builders and land sellers will be subject to new obligations under Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. If your business sells residential property using in-house sales or marketing staff, you may be providing a designated service and need to comply with the new requirements.
This article and HIA expert-led webinar explains who is captured by the legislation, when an independent external agent may take responsibility for compliance, and how to determine whether your business needs to enrol with AUSTRAC. It also outlines key deadlines and the practical steps businesses should take before the new rules commence.
Learn what it means to be a reporting entity, including requirements for governance, risk assessments, customer due diligence, staff training, record keeping and suspicious activity reporting. Get clear guidance on preparing your business for compliance before 1 July 2026.
