The real estate industry is in the crosshairs of financial crime, and new laws are about to make the stakes even higher.
Last year alone, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) seized $110 million in criminal assets, including waterfront properties, apartments, and seven Queensland properties worth nearly $13 million. Criminal syndicates are exploiting real estate as a key tool for laundering dirty money, and if your agency isn’t prepared, you could be the next target.
Tougher laws are coming – are you ready?
By July 2026, real estate businesses must comply with strict new anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Failure to do so could result in hefty fines, criminal charges, and irreparable reputational damage. With regulatory scrutiny ramping up, ignorance is no longer an excuse.
Real estate professionals must act now to safeguard their businesses. That’s why industry leaders are coming together at AML Edge 2025 in Sydney on 27 March – a one-day event designed to equip real estate executives with the knowledge and tools they need to stay compliant and protect their businesses.
AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial intelligence agency and regulator, will be speaking on the day, outlining key compliance expectations.
With over 20 topic experts on the line-up, this is the must-attend event to future-proof your business.
Don’t wait for a compliance crackdown!
