Do I need to enrol with AUSTRAC?

If you provide designated services — forming companies, managing trusts, handling client funds, or acting on property transactions — yes. The AUSTRAC enrolment deadline is 29 July 2026. See our complete Tranche 2 guide to check if you're in scope.

What does CompliDesk cost?

CompliDesk starts at $39/month (Solo — 10 clients), $89/month (Professional — 50 clients), or $89/month (Bureau — unlimited clients). KYC checks are included in every plan — just $3/check after your monthly allowance. See full pricing details.

What is the penalty for not complying with Tranche 2?

Civil penalties under the AML/CTF Act can reach $33 million for a body corporate or $6.6 million for an individual for serious breaches. Failing to enrol with AUSTRAC by 29 July 2026 is itself a contravention.
