If you run a real estate agency in Australia, AML / Tranche 2 is something you can’t afford to ignore.
From 1 July 2026, compliance will become mandatory for agencies involved in property transactions.
What’s Changing?
Real estate agencies will now be required to:
- Verify the identity of buyers and sellers
- Understand who they are dealing with
-
Assess risk for each transaction
- Monitor for suspicious behaviour
- Keep detailed records
This applies across residential, commercial, and off-market transactions.
Why Real Estate Is Being Targeted
Property transactions often involve:
- Large sums of money
- Overseas buyers
- Complex ownership structures
These factors make real estate attractive for money laundering, which is why the government is introducing these requirements.
What This Means for Your Agency
In practical terms, your team will need to:
- Collect and verify ID before transactions proceed
- Store compliance documents securely
-
Track risk levels across clients
- Maintain audit trails
Trying to do this manually using spreadsheets or email will not scale.
