AUSTRAC compliance for service providers

AUSTRAC ready.
In time for 1 July.

From 1 July, law firms, accountants and real estate agents must verify clients, screen for sanctions, file reports and run a compliance program. Detekta gives you everything to meet AUSTRAC's new rules — one platform, one monthly fee, and a real compliance officer behind it if you want one.

What AUSTRAC now requires

Bank-grade duties, on a firm that isn't a bank.

From 1 July, Tranche-2 reform brings your profession into the AML/CTF regime — the same core duties a bank carries.

🏛️

Enrol & appoint

Register with AUSTRAC and appoint a compliance officer (MLRO) — a named, accountable role.

📋

AML/CTF program

Written policies and procedures, kept current as the rules and your business change.

🪪

Verify your clients

KYC on individuals and KYB on businesses — including the real beneficial owner.

🚫

Screen & monitor

Check every client against sanctions and PEP lists, and keep watching over time.

🧾

Report & record

Lodge suspicious matter reports to AUSTRAC and keep records an examiner can pull.

⏱️

By 1 July

The clock is running — standing up a compliant program from scratch takes longer than it looks.

Two ways to be compliant

Run it yourself, or let us run it for you.

Same platform underneath. The difference is whether you want a real compliance officer behind it.

Starter

The platform

Everything you need to be AUSTRAC-compliant — DIY, with our platform doing the heavy lifting. You're the compliance officer; we give you the tools, the AI-drafted program, and the checks.

Best for firms with someone who can own compliance internally.
Pro · recommended

The platform + your MLRO

Everything in Starter, plus Detekta as your outsourced compliance officer. We act as your registered MLRO, review your program before AUSTRAC, analyse your cases, and only escalate what genuinely needs you.

★ The Pro advantage

An outsourced MLRO normally costs $1,500–$3,000 / month on its own. Bundled into Pro for the price of the platform.

Pricing

One monthly fee, plus the checks you use.

Predictable monthly pricing, $0 setup, free until your 1 July obligation start date. You only pay for the verification checks you actually run.

Trust & posture

Built for regulated work, stated plainly.

🇦🇺 Australian Privacy Act

Detekta elects to be treated as an "organisation" under s.6EA of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and complies with the Australian Privacy Principles — confirmed with the OAIC.

✍️ Human-in-the-loop

The platform does the work; on Pro, a named MLRO signs every consequential decision. Nothing closes in the dark.

🧾 Immutable audit trail

Every check, decision and filing captured and reconstructable — examiner-ready on demand.

🌍 Data residency

Configurable residency aligned to LGPD and GDPR. Encryption in transit and at rest.

On certifications: Detekta's own SOC 2 / ISO 27001 are in progress, not yet issued — we won't display a badge until it's earned. Underlying infrastructure runs on certified providers.
