What is the Master AUSTRAC Compliance training?

This is a series of face-to-face workshops designed to help you meet your Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations under AUSTRAC’s Tranche 2 reforms. It goes beyond theory and gives you practical tools, frameworks and guidance to build your compliance program.

Different modules are tailored to different roles across your agency.

Is the training aligned with AUSTRAC requirements?

Yes. The program is built on AUSTRAC’s official starter kit, giving you confidence your compliance framework aligns with regulator expectations.

Sessions run as full-day workshops with practical guidance. Sessions do not necessarily need to be done in any order.
