  1. Preparing for AML/CTF Tranche 2 Compliance in Real Estate: What You Need to Know The Australian government is set to implement AML/CTF Tranche2 reforms, and the real estate sector will be among the industries most impacted. Tranche 2 refers to the expansion of Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) regulations to cover professionals such as real estate agents, lawyers, and accountants—collectively known as designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs). What is AML/CTF Tranche 2? AML/CTF Tranche 2 for Real Estate is designed to close existing regulatory gaps and align Australia with international standards, particularly those set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Real estate transactions are often high-value and can be used by criminals to launder illicit funds. Under Tranche 2, real estate professionals will be required to implement AML/CTF compliance programs, conduct customer due diligence (CDD), report suspicious transactions, and maintain proper records. Impact on the Real Estate Sector The introduction of AML/CTF Tranche 2 compliance in real estate will bring significant operational changes. Real estate agencies must now verify client identities, understand the source of their funds, and monitor transactions for suspicious activity. Failure to comply with AML/CTF obligations can lead to heavy penalties and reputational damage.
