Education about the new guidance

After we’ve published the new guidance in October, we’ll provide more digital education products on the reforms, including:

  • webinars
  • eLearning modules
  • factsheets
  • videos and animations.         

Keep an eye on the AML/CTF reform page for updates.

This guidance sets out how we interpret the Act, along with associated Rules and regulations. Australian courts are ultimately responsible for interpreting these laws and determining if any provisions of these laws are contravened. 

The examples and scenarios in this guidance are meant to help explain our interpretation of these laws. They’re not exhaustive or meant to cover every possible scenario.

This guidance provides general information and isn't a substitute for legal advice. This guidance avoids legal language wherever possible and it might include generalisations about the application of the law. Some provisions of the law referred to have exceptions or important qualifications. In most cases your particular circumstances must be taken into account when determining how the law applies to you.
