Australia Implements Anti-Money Laundering Measures in Real Estate Sector

Australia is set to enhance its regulations against money laundering with new laws that will require real estate agents, lawyers, and accountants to report suspicious transactions. This legislative push, known as “Tranche 2,” aims to align Australia with global standards by curbing the flow of illegal profits into legitimate assets.

The federal government’s initiative includes a budget allocation of $166.4 million to AUSTRAC, the financial crimes agency, to support the implementation of these laws. This funding will help educate professionals about their reporting obligations and due diligence practices.

Historically, Australia has faced criticism for lagging behind in anti-money laundering legislation, a gap that has potentially made the country a favorable destination for illicit funds, particularly in the real estate market. Recent estimates from AUSTRAC suggest that in 2020 alone, approximately $1 billion was laundered through Australian properties by criminals linked to China.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus emphasized that the reformed laws would significantly aid law enforcement in tackling various criminal activities, including drug trafficking and tax evasion, and reduce the misuse of Australia’s financial system.

Transparency International Australia highlighted the urgent need for these reforms, noting the extensive use of Australia’s property market by criminals and corrupt entities to launder money. The organization’s recent report, in collaboration with KordaMentha, identified significant money flows from Cambodia into Australian real estate, pointing to potential gaps in the current legal framework.

As part of the broader implications of these reforms, real estate professionals will receive training on handling suspicious transactions to ensure they are not inadvertently facilitating financial crimes.

The federal government continues to consult on the details of these reforms, with the consultation period set to close on June 13, 2024. The upcoming federal budget, which includes the funding for these initiatives, will be announced on May 14, 2024.
