From 1 July 2026 every real estate agency that is involved in buying or selling property is a reporting entity under Australia's AML/CTF laws. We build your compliance program, train your staff, and keep you compliant — so you can focus on selling property.
Most real estate agencies have never been regulated. From 1 July 2026, you answer to AUSTRAC for AML/CTF — and to the OAIC for privacy. Both from day one.
You need an AML/CTF Program, a risk assessment, customer identification procedures, a suspicious matter reporting process, staff training, a privacy policy, a data breach plan — and someone who actually knows what a regulator looks for when they walk through the door.
That's where we come in. We've assessed compliance programs from inside the regulator. We know what good looks like, what AUSTRAC will ask for, and what gets agencies into trouble.
Every engagement is tailored to your business, your customer types, your property, and your risk profile.
Not sure where you stand? A targeted assessment of your agency's readiness — delivered as a prioritised action plan with a clear risk rating.
A fixed-scope engagement to take your agency from zero to compliant immediately. Program, risk assessment, ID procedures, staff training — done.
Stay compliant after go-live. A retainer service for agencies that want an expert on call — program reviews, staff refreshers, SMR guidance, annual reporting.
A clear, practical process — no jargon, no surprises.
We discuss your agency, your obligations, and what you need. No cost, no commitment.
We assess where you are, identify the gaps, and scope the engagement to fit your agency.
Your compliance program is built, tailored, and delivered. Staff are trained and sign off.
Your agency is compliant. We stay available for questions, reviews, and reporting.
Accessable Risk was founded by a former ASIC leader and senior risk executive with direct experience assessing how organisations manage regulatory risk — and how regulators evaluate the evidence they provide.
We don't sell generic templates and wish you luck. We work with your agency to build a compliance program that reflects your actual business — your customers, your property types, your risk profile — because that's exactly what AUSTRAC expects to see.
The difference matters when the regulator asks questions.
Direct experience inside the regulator, overseeing how financial services firms manage compliance — and what gaps look like from the regulator's perspective.
Extensive experience building risk management frameworks inside regulated entities — operational risk, AML/CTF, and prudential compliance.
Deep familiarity with the AUSTRAC, APRA, and ASIC regulatory environments, including the Tranche 2 reforms that bring real estate into the regime.
