The new AML/CTF rules have now been finalised. You can find the new rules on the AUSTRAC website and on the Federal Register of Legislation website. The 2025 rules replace the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules Instrument 2007 (No. 1). The new rules contain important obligations about enrolment, risk management policies and procedures, KYC due diligence, suspicious matters reports and more. The LIV has partnered with ACAMS to bring their AML General Awareness for Law Professionals course to LIV members at a discounted rate. This course provides a foundational overview of AML practices to better equip legal professionals in the identification and mitigation of AML risks. AUSTRAC is running a series of introductory webinars to help professionals to prepare for AML/CTF reforms and understand their potential AML/CTF obligations. The AUSTRAC AML/CTF Essentials webinars series provide an overview of AML/CTF reforms, risks and expectations and are not service specific.
The LIV has developed an AML/CTF compliance ready-reckoner to help practitioners understand whether the AML/CTF reforms will apply to their practices and the steps to comply.
