New to AUSTRAC

AUSTRAC regulates certain business activities in the financial services, bullion, gambling and digital currency exchange sectors. These business activities are called designated services and have been identified because they pose a risk for money laundering and terrorism financing.

If you provide one or more designated services that have a geographical link to Australia, you are a reporting entity and have anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations. Your obligations include reporting certain business activities and transactions to AUSTRAC, record-keeping and having an AML/CTF program.
