AUSTRAC works both bilaterally and multilaterally to facilitate the exchange of financial information and to build an international environment hostile to money laundering, major crime, revenue evasion and the sponsorship of terrorism.
AUSTRAC's bilateral relationships include both information exchange, underpinned by Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between AUSTRAC and other financial intelligence units around the world, and technical assistance and training initiatives in which AUSTRAC seeks to assist countries to develop stronger Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing regimes.
AUSTRAC's multi lateral relationships include involvement in the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering and provision of support to the Attorney-General's Department which leads the Australian representation at the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering.
