Who we help
Segment-specialised compliance for reporting entities.
The regime regulates designated services, not professions. We maintain separate playbooks for each category, because their designated services, risk profiles and compliance cultures differ materially.
Newly captured from 1 July 2026
Accountants & tax practices
Accounting and tax practices are captured where they provide designated services such as forming companies and trusts, managing client money, or assisting with property and business transactions. A single low-volume service can bring your practice into scope.

Law firms
Law firms are captured for designated services including trust account and conveyancing work, financing transactions, and nominee or registered-office arrangements. The regime regulates services, not professions — the trigger is what you do for a client.

Real estate professionals
Real estate agents, buyer's agents and property developers who broker, plan or execute the sale, purchase or transfer of real estate come into scope. A defining feature is the dual-customer rule: both buyer and seller are your customer, so CDD applies to both before the service is provided.

Remittance service providers
Remittance service providers are existing Tranche 1 reporting entities. You must both enrol and register with AUSTRAC, and your program obligations shifted to the new risk-based model from 31 March 2026. Many smaller operators run thin compliance functions and need to uplift.
