A plain-English guide to Australia's AML/CTF regime, published by the people who build tools for it.
AML/CTF Guide explains anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing law in Australia for the businesses it covers, with particular attention to the professions brought in by the 2026 Tranche 2 reforms. It summarises the Act, the Rules and AUSTRAC guidance, and tracks changes as they happen.
It is published by A Clebio Costa Bispo Publicidade Ltda (ABN 13 757 044 686), the same group that operates three sector compliance tools: LedgerAML for accountants and bookkeepers, RealtyAML for real estate agents and PracticeAML for law firms and conveyancers. We say this on every page. The guide covers the whole regime, including sectors those tools do not serve, and when we discuss software we say which products are ours.
Accuracy: every page names its primary source. Where the guide and the Act, the Rules or AUSTRAC guidance differ, the primary source is right and we want to know: write to hello@amlctfguide.com.au. Nothing here is legal advice.
