New AML/CTF Laws are now in effect – here's what you need to know.

From 1 July 2026, Australian law firms are required to comply with new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) legislation.

If you're buying or selling property, preparing legal documents or engaging our firm for certain legal services, you may be asked to provide identification and additional information to verify your identity.

These new requirements are designed to:
✅ Protect the Australian financial system
✅ Help prevent money laundering and terrorism financing
✅ Maintain the integrity and trust of the legal profession

At Parker Law QLD, we're committed to making this process as simple and efficient as possible while continuing to provide the trusted service our clients expect.

Why Are Australia's AML Laws Changing?

From 1 July 2026, Australian law firms, including Parker Law QLD, are required to comply with new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) legislation.

These important reforms are being introduced to help:
✔ Prevent money laundering and financial crime
✔ Combat terrorism financing
✔ Protect Australia's financial system and economy
✔ Strengthen trust and integrity within the legal profession

While these changes may mean we ask a few additional questions or request identification during your matter, they are designed to protect everyone involved and ensure Australia's legal system continues to meet the highest professional and regulatory standards.

At Parker Law QLD, we are committed to making this process as straightforward and efficient as possible while continuing to deliver the personalised service our clients have trusted for over 10 years.

Over the coming days, we'll be sharing more information about what these changes mean for you and what you can expect when engaging our team.
If you have any questions, we're always here to help.

We Love B2B Brews!

A huge thank you to the Mackay Regional Chamber of Commerce for continuing to bring our local business community together through the fantastic B2B Brews networking events.

Held fortnightly, B2B Brews provides a valuable opportunity for business owners, managers, professionals and emerging leaders to connect, share ideas, build relationships and strengthen the Mackay business community over a great cup of coffee.

The team at Parker Law QLD always enjoys attending, with Kelly Parker, Peter Barnett and Claire Zhang appreciating the opportunity to engage with local businesses, discuss industry trends and support the growth of our region.

Strong businesses create strong communities, and events like B2B Brews play an important role in fostering collaboration, innovation and local economic growth.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new connections at the next event!

Proudly supporting Mackay businesses and our community.
