Australia is entering a new era in the fight against financial crime. The Tranche 2 AML/CTF reforms will reshape how legal, conveyancing, accounting and real estate professionals safeguard the movement of money across the country. In response to this historic shift, InfoTrack and Grant Thornton today announce a national collaboration that will set a new benchmark for industry support, protection and preparedness.
Combining InfoTrack’s technology with Grant Thornton’s financial crime and regulatory expertise, this landmark collaboration delivers the guidance and solutions firms need under the new reforms. The arrangement will ensure the solutions delivered through InfoTrack are aligned with the AUSTRAC guidance being released in January 2026.
A key element of those solutions is the InfoTrack Compliance Centre, which seamlessly fits within the existing workflows of legal and property professionals. As the central hub for compliance within a firm, the Compliance Centre simplifies the obligations and is available to all firms with no subscription fees or upfront costs.
Lee Bailie, InfoTrack’s Chief Operating Officer and project sponsor for AML/CTF nationally, said that clarity will be crucial for legal and property professionals.
“These reforms exist to protect the community. Firms deserve clarity, and their clients deserve confidence. By combining InfoTrack’s technology with Grant Thornton’s expertise, we are giving firms a clear, supported path into compliance and helping safeguard the people whose money they manage every day.”
Richard Storey, Partner – Risk Consulting at Grant Thornton, said the collaboration also reflects a global first.
“Compliance is at the heart of these reforms. The AUSTRAC Starter Kits will give the impacted Australian businesses something that has never existed anywhere else in the world. When similar reforms took place in the UK and other jurisdictions, firms were left without the clarity they needed. InfoTrack are an already trusted partner to, and uniquely placed to support, the property and real estate industry achieving AML compliance by establishing an AML framework that is rigorous, practical and integrated into existing workflows. Our aim is to support firms with the tools and understanding they need to become compliant with their AML obligations and thereby prevent money laundering from infiltrating the Australian financial system.”
Over the coming months, InfoTrack and Grant Thornton will release insights, events and resources designed to help firms move from awareness to action. All impacted firms can attend InfoTrack’s national Roadshows in March 2026, where the InfoTrack Compliance Centre will be revealed. Practitioners will get access to interactive training and guidance to be equipped with the knowledge, tools and confidence they need to become, and stay, compliant.
This national collaboration represents a pivotal step in Australia’s mission to reduce financial crime and strengthen protection for clients, practitioners and the broader community through practical, trusted and future-ready compliance solutions.
