Anti-Money Laundering AML: Changes from 1 July 2026 | Heffron

From 1 July 2026, Australia’s anti-money laundering (AML) laws will be expanded to cover some of the services and transactions typically provided by:

• real estate agents, buyer’s agents and property developers;
• lawyers;
• conveyancers;
• dealers in precious metals and stones;
• accountants; and
• trust and company service providers.

If you’re thinking about setting up an SMSF or already have an SMSF, you may soon notice a change in the services being provided to you or the information you’re asked for.
