REIACT Members, AUSTRAC’s AML Starter Kits have been released this week. These Starter Kits are designed to help agencies with 15 employees or less develop an AML program. A reminder that these policies and procedures will need to be in place by 1st July 2026.

REIACT is here to help members navigate these major changes. A REIACT Member Alert was emailed to members earlier this week to provide guidance on next steps (if you haven’t subscribed to our mailing list, please contact us). Access the Starter Kits here: https://www.austrac.gov.au/reforms/sector-specific-guidance/real-estate-guidance/real-estate-program-starter-kit/real-estate-program-starter-kit-getting-started

We are also organising another webinar series for REIACT Members this year in partnership with First AML to guide you through the transition.
