AML/CTF Implementation Guide for NSW sole practitioners and small practices

To access the Guide, practitioners will require their Law ID. You can create one here.  

From 1 July 2026, legal practices providing designated services will have new obligations to help combat money laundering and terrorism financing.

This Guide is designed to complement AUSTRAC’s AML/CTF Starter Kits, helping practices move from theory to practical application. Designed for sole practitioners and small practices, it provides practical guidance, real-world examples, and tools to support an appropriate and risk-based approach to compliance.

The Guide covers: 

  • Customising your AML/CTF program for your practice 
  • How to give effect to the program in your day-to-day operations
  • Keeping your program current as risks, operations and regulatory expectations evolve. 

In addition, the Combined Risk Assessment from the Guide (Annexure 4), has been extracted and developed into a standalone, editable document. 

This is part of an ongoing program of support, with further guidance and resources available soon.
