AML/CTF Comply · A Budduns Platform · Coming July 2026

Your complete AUSTRAC compliance program — built in, guided, audit-ready.

From 1 July 2026, Australian real estate agents and Table 6 professional services must comply with the AML/CTF Act 2006. AML/CTF Comply is the complete program your business needs — enrolment, risk assessment, customer due diligence, reporting, and audit trail — in one place.

AUSTRAC commencement: 1 July 2026 · Real estate, accountants, lawyers, conveyancers, trust & company service providers must be enrolled and compliant.

The biggest compliance change in 18 years lands on 1 July 2026.

The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024 brings real estate, accountants, lawyers, conveyancers, and trust & company service providers into the AUSTRAC regime for the first time. From 1 July 2026, anyone providing a designated service under Table 5 or Table 6 of the Act must be enrolled with AUSTRAC and operating a full AML/CTF program — or stop providing the service.

This is not optional, not a phased recommendation, and not waiting for further consultation. The Act is compiled, the Rules are published, and the date is fixed.

We built AML/CTF Comply because the businesses now in scope — agencies, accounting firms, conveyancers — don't have a year to build internal compliance programs from scratch. They need a working program before 1 July. Comply delivers it.

Who's caught

Why Comply

Why AML/CTF Comply, not a generic compliance product

Built to the Act, not adapted from another jurisdiction

Comply is built from the Australian AML/CTF Act 2006 and Rules 2025 directly. Not a US BSA tool adapted for Australia, not a UK MLR tool retro-fitted, not a generic KYC platform with an Australian skin. Every form, every workflow, every retention rule maps to the Australian law.

AUSTRAC starter-kit aligned

Every form in Comply mirrors the AUSTRAC starter-kit templates. If your inspector or auditor recognises the format, they recognise it because it's the format AUSTRAC publishes.

Designed for the firms now in scope

We didn't build this for major banks. We built it for the real estate agencies, accounting firms, and conveyancers who are being brought into the regime for the first time — and who don't have a 50-person compliance department to lean on.

Australian-hosted, Australian-built

Hosted in Sydney (Azure Australia East). Data stays in Australia. Compliant with Australian Privacy Principle 8.1. Built by an Australian team that's actually read the Act.
