InfoTrack and Grant Thornton Launch AML Partnership
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 financial transactions nationwide. In response to this historic shift, InfoTrack and Grant Thornton announced 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 expected release of AUSTRAC guidance 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 at no subscription cost or upfront fees.
Lee Bailie, InfoTrack’s Chief Operating Officer and national AML/CTF project sponsor, 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 represents 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 is a trusted partner and uniquely positioned to support the property and real estate industry, achieving AML compliance by establishing a rigorous, practical, and integrated AML framework that integrates with 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 have access to interactive training and guidance to equip them 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.
