The countdown to 1 July 2026 has begun. On this date, Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) compliance becomes mandatory for the property services industry. To ensure your agency meets these strict requirements from day one, preparation must start now for the 31 March 2026 AUSTRAC Enrolment date.

Starting in mid-March 2026, REINSW is running a comprehensive series of interactive workshops. We don’t just teach theory - we provide the tools, simulations, and frameworks to build your agency’s compliance program from the ground up.

Mid March 2026

  • Enrol in the REINSW Workshops for complete guidance, including AUSTRAC enrolment

From 31 March 2026

  • Enrol with AUSTRAC
  • Develop policies and procedures to manage your AML/CTF obligations

  • Assess client risk and monitor transactions 
  • Appoint a Compliance Officer
  • Keep records and report suspicious matters to AUSTRAC

You need the knowledge to ensure compliance. That’s exactly what REINSW can provide with comprehensive training.
