Welcome to the first episode of our new podcast series on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) for Australian lawyers. With the Tranche 2 reforms approaching, it’s crucial for the legal profession to understand what’s coming and how to prepare.

In this episode, we unpack AUSTRAC’s expectations of lawyers, explore which legal services are likely to fall within the new AML/CTF regime, and outline the key obligations to enrol with AUSTRAC and appoint an AML/CTF Compliance Officer. Whether you’re a sole practitioner or part of a larger firm, this episode provides the essential groundwork to help you understand your future compliance responsibilities.
