For small, independent practices

AML compliance support for conveyancers.

Adelaide-based anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing support for Australian conveyancing practices. Make responsibilities, customer-check hand-offs, evidence and exceptions work matter by matter.

Obligations commenced 1 July 2026 where designated services are provided. A starter kit still needs to be customised, implemented, used, maintained and reviewed for the practice.

Practice reality

The operating work sits inside every matter.

Policies and software do not, by themselves, decide who performs each step, who reviews an exception, what evidence is retained or how overdue work reaches the Principal and AMLCO.

  • New-matter and designated-service triage
  • Customer and beneficial-owner workflow hand-offs
  • CDD exceptions and escalation
  • Training and PDD evidence
  • Open actions and remediation
  • AMLCO and management visibility

WHO WE SUPPORT

Small, independent practices

The core Health Check is designed primarily for conveyancing practices with approximately 2–15 personnel. Suitability depends on your existing program, the complexity of your work and the process support you need. Staff numbers do not determine whether AML/CTF obligations apply.

A sensible sequence

Check first. Fix what matters. Add recurring support only if needed.

Adelaide and South Australia

Local contact. Support around your existing practice.

AML Operations Australia is based in Adelaide and supports South Australian practices and conveyancers elsewhere in Australia through agreed remote arrangements. The starting point is your existing program, selected software and the tasks your team needs help carrying out.

A process discussion can use workflow descriptions and deidentified examples. Any later access to restricted information needs a separately agreed secure arrangement.

A practical starting point

Five checks for your AML workflow

  • Does each recurring task have an owner and backup?
  • Are customer-check hand-offs clear?
  • Do unresolved exceptions reach the right decision-maker?
  • Can authorised staff find the relevant evidence?
  • Are overdue actions reviewed and followed through?

Regulatory boundary

Coverage depends on the designated services actually provided.

We support implementation and operation after the relevant scope is understood. We do not provide legal advice or determine whether a particular activity is a designated service.
