AUSTRAC has amended the AML\/CTF Rules for 2026, introducing new obligations for reporting entities across Australia. New requirements are in effect for existing entities from 31 March 2026, and from 1 July 2026 for Tranche 2 businesses, including lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and jewellers.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What AUSTRAC Just Changed<\/h2>

AUSTRAC has amended the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules 2025, the regulatory instrument underpinning Australia’s reformed AML\/CTF regime. The original Rules were tabled in Parliament on 29 August 2025 following two rounds of public consultation that generated 229 industry submissions. AUSTRAC subsequently identified targeted amendments to improve the Rules’ effectiveness, correct technical errors, and address industry pain points.<\/p>

The amendments were published in two instruments: the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (2025 Rules) Amendment Rules 2026, and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (Class Exemptions and Other Matters) Amendment Rules 2026. The Department of Home Affairs is also finalising transitional rules, including a 3-year initial CDD transition period for existing reporting entities from 31 March 2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Four Key Areas That Changed<\/h2>

1\u00a0 |\u00a0 Reporting Group Framework – New Opt-Out Model<\/p>

This is the most important structural change. AUSTRAC has switched from an opt-in reporting group model to an opt-out model. Entities within a corporate group or control structure now automatically form a reporting group unless a reporting entity explicitly declines membership in writing. Lead entity requirements have been updated to support this change. Groups that previously needed to actively set up their reporting structure will benefit from less administrative work; entities that do not want to participate must take clear steps to opt out.<\/p>

2\u00a0 |\u00a0 Customer Due Diligence – Technical Clarifications<\/p>

Several technical CDD clarifications including: extending the timeframe to verify KYC information previously verified by another party to a real estate transaction (from 15 to 28 days); introducing deemed CDD for real estate agents where genuine attempts to conduct CDD on counterparties have been unsuccessful; and adding a requirement to monitor for prohibited hate group offences as part of unusual transaction and behaviour monitoring.<\/p>

3\u00a0 |\u00a0 Annual Compliance Reporting – Commonwealth Framework Alignment<\/p>

Compliance report periods and lodgement dates have been aligned with the Commonwealth Performance Framework as set out in the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. For reporting entities managing multiple regulatory reporting obligations, this alignment simplifies the annual compliance calendar and reduces the risk of conflicting lodgement deadlines.<\/p>

4\u00a0 |\u00a0 Travel Rule – Extended Customer Exemption<\/p>

The travel rule amendments extend the existing customer exemption from verifying certain payer information, including payer address, to all customers for transactions conducted before 1 July 2030. Note: virtual asset service providers must still implement the travel rule for virtual asset transfers from 1 July 2026. No exemption applies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Tranche 2 – Are You Affected?<\/h2>

From 1 July 2026, lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and jewellers come under AUSTRAC regulation for the first time. You must enroll with AUSTRAC (from 31 March 2026), establish an AML\/CTF program, conduct customer due diligence, and report specified transactions. Sentinel Compliance Platform is built to onboard new reporting entities rapidly, with same-day integration available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What Should Reporting Entities Do Now?<\/h2>

AUSTRAC’s regulatory expectations are clear: existing reporting entities must show sustained effort and progress against implementation plans, continue managing ML\/TF risks through the transition, and implement tactical improvements in the short term. For Tranche 2 entities, AUSTRAC expects enrolment, a functioning AML\/CTF program, and operational compliance infrastructure in place before obligations commence.<\/p>

The 2026 amendments are the operative legal framework. Reporting entities calibrated to the original August 2025 Rules need to review how the amendments affect their CDD processes, reporting group structure, travel rule obligations, and annual reporting calendar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
