AML changes are coming in July 2026. We’ve got your back.

Big changes are on the way

From 1st July, 2026, real estate agents and practitioners will be included in Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. This will mean new responsibilities for how you check, record and report client information.

Livesign is launching a solution that will make these new regulations stress-free. Read on to find out more & pre-register so you can relax knowing you're sorted for when the changes come in.
