Everything AUSTRAC expects from a reporting entity, and nothing it does not.

Enterprise AML platforms are built for banks. A firm of four needs one place for each legal duty, with the deadline visible and the record kept. That is the whole product.

Questions people ask

Straight answers, written for a practice, not a bank.

Do real estate agents need to comply with AML/CTF laws in Australia?
Yes, if they broker the sale, purchase or transfer of real estate. From 1 July 2026 sales agents, buyers agents and agencies receiving deposits into trust are reporting entities. Residential property management on its own is not a designated service.
What does RealtyAML actually do?
It gives an agency one place for each legal obligation: a generated and versioned AML/CTF program, vendor and buyer identification and risk records, review reminders, suspicious matter and threshold transaction logging with deadlines, staff training, and a tamper-evident audit trail.
Is RealtyAML legal advice?
No. It is software that helps you record and manage your obligations. The program it generates is a template built from your answers; your agency decides whether it fits and adopts it.
How much does it cost?
AU$99.90 per agency per month, including GST, with a 14-day free trial. One plan, everything included.
We are a two-person agency. Do we need all this?
Yes. The obligations apply to the reporting entity, not to its size. The program is simply shorter.

Who is behind it

Built by a small business for small businesses that now answer to AUSTRAC.

RealtyAML is built for real estate agents, buyers agents and agencies in Australia that became reporting entities on 1 July 2026 and need a practical way to meet the AML/CTF obligations without hiring a compliance consultant.

The product does one thing per legal obligation and nothing else: a program, client records, reviews, reports, training and an audit trail. One plan, one price, and every screen designed so a sales team can use it without reading a manual.
