AML Training
in Australia

Equip your team with the skills, awareness, and confidence needed to manage financial crime risks effectively.

AML Training for Australian Reporting Entities

Effective AML/CTF compliance starts with a well-trained team that understands the risks, obligations, and procedures governing financial crime prevention. Our AML Training programs are created to help employees at all levels gain a clear understanding of AML/CTF requirements, customer due diligence expectations, suspicious matter identification, and ongoing monitoring processes.

We deliver training that is practical, industry-specific, and supported by real case studies. Every session is designed to strengthen your business’s AML culture while reducing the likelihood of errors, gaps, or non-compliant behaviour.

Whether you operate in finance, remittance, digital services, commercial sectors, or professional services, our AML training Australia courses ensure your team stays aligned with AUSTRAC regulations and industry best practices.

Why AML Training Matters for Your Organisation

Financial crime risks are evolving, and businesses must ensure their teams have the capability to identify red flags, apply the right level of due diligence, and escalate concerns appropriately.

High-quality anti money laundering training helps employees understand their responsibilities and equips them to respond quickly and accurately to compliance requirements.

Strong AML education also supports smoother onboarding, cleaner customer data, reduced operational risk, and improved reporting accuracy.

With the right knowledge, staff can recognise suspicious indicators early and take action that aligns with your AML/CTF program and AUSTRAC expectations.

AML Training Requirements in Australia

Australian reporting entities are required to ensure their employees receive appropriate AML/CTF training to meet AUSTRAC obligations. AML training in Australia must be risk-based and proportionate to the roles and responsibilities of staff, with higher-risk functions requiring more in-depth instruction. 

Effective anti money laundering training should cover regulatory obligations, customer due diligence, suspicious matter identification, reporting requirements, and internal escalation procedures. Training must also be refreshed regularly to reflect regulatory updates, emerging ML/TF risks, and changes to business operations. 

AUSTRAC expects businesses to maintain records of AML compliance training delivered, attendance, and training outcomes. Failure to provide adequate AML training can result in control weaknesses, reporting errors, and regulatory action. 

Benefits of AML Training

Investing in high-quality AML training delivers both compliance and operational benefits, including: 

  • Improved identification of suspicious activity and risk indicators 
  • Greater accuracy in customer due diligence and KYC processes 
  • Reduced compliance breaches and reporting errors 
  • Stronger audit readiness and regulatory confidence 
  • Increased staff confidence and accountability 

Effective AML training supports smoother onboarding, cleaner customer data, and better decision-making across all levels of the business.

What the AML Training Covers

Our AML training programs are practical, role-based, and aligned with AUSTRAC requirements. Depending on your organisation and risk profile, training typically covers: 

  • AML/CTF regulatory obligations and governance expectations 
  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and KYC procedures 
  • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) triggers and high-risk customers 
  • Transaction monitoring and red-flag identification 
  • Suspicious Matter Reporting (SMR) obligations and escalation 
  • Record-keeping and ongoing compliance responsibilities 

Training content is tailored to your industry, operational roles, and risk exposure to ensure relevance and effectiveness. 

AML Compliance Training vs AML KYC Training – What’s the Difference?

AML compliance training provides employees with a broad understanding of AML/CTF obligations, governance frameworks, risk management responsibilities, and reporting requirements. It focuses on ensuring staff understand why controls exist and how their roles contribute to compliance.

AML KYC training is more operational and task-focused. It equips employees with practical skills for customer onboarding, identity verification, risk profiling, enhanced due diligence, and documentation accuracy. 

Both forms of training are essential. AML compliance training establishes awareness and accountability, while AML KYC training ensures consistency and accuracy in customer-facing processes. Our AML training programs integrate both elements to ensure teams are confident, compliant, and audit-ready.
