Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF)

From 1 July 2026, the AntiMoney Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) will apply to some services provided by lawyers. This will typically be for matters such as conveyancing, establishing or restructuring companies or trusts, or assisting with certain commercial arrangements.

The AML / CTF Act requires lawyers to collect and verify certain information about you (the client). This will generally happen before the lawyer provides you with their services, however it may also occur during the course of your matter.

As part of these obligations, clients may be required to:

• provide identification documents such as a passport or driver licence;
• verify their identity and source of funds;
• provide information about companies, trusts, or beneficial ownership structures;
• explain the purpose and nature of certain transactions or arrangements; and
• update information where circumstances change during a matter.

Your personal information collected for compliance with the AML/CTF Act will be handled in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and in accordance with our strict confidentiality duties and other regulatory requirements.
