Compliance for every industry now in scope.
Crypto exchange, law firm, accounting practice, real estate agency, or jeweller — if AUSTRAC says you're regulated, TrustAxis Advisory tells you exactly what that means and handles it for you. No jargon, no generic templates.

- Australia-wide, remote or on-site
Are you an AUSTRAC reporting entity?
Select your business type — the obligation attaches to the service, not the job title. Covers Tranche 1 (existing) and Tranche 2 (new, from 1 July 2026) entities.
Five services. One point of contact.
Whether you're standing up an AML/CTF program for the first time, need an outsourced compliance officer, or want an independent set of eyes on your audit function, it's handled by the same small team from first call to sign-off.
AML/CTF Program Design
Risk assessment, a written AML/CTF program, and a compliance officer appointment pack — tailored to your actual services, not a generic template.
Learn more → 02Independent AML/CTF Review
The periodic independent evaluation your program requires, delivered as a clear report with prioritised, actionable findings.
Learn more → 03Compliance Officer as a Service
We act as your named AML/CTF compliance officer under AUSTRAC's own guidance — no in-house hire, no $80k+ salary.
Learn more → 04Audit & Assurance
Financial statement, SMSF, and internal/compliance audits — for entities that need assurance beyond AML/CTF alone.
Learn more → 05Training & Board Briefings
Practical staff training and board-level briefings that build a genuine compliance culture, not just a signed attendance sheet.
Learn more →Tranche 2 isn't coming. It's here. And Tranche 1 hasn't gone away.
From 1 July 2026, lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, conveyancers, trust and company service providers, and dealers in precious metals and stones became AUSTRAC reporting entities for the first time — around 80,000–90,000 businesses newly in scope. If you provide a designated service, enrolment, a written program, and customer due diligence aren't optional extras. They're the law. And if you're an existing Tranche 1 entity — a crypto exchange, remittance provider, or other long-regulated business — the same 2026 reforms changed key parts of what your program needs to look like, whether you're starting fresh or updating what you've already got.
Read the plain-English guideFour steps, always in this order.
Risk assessment
We map your services, clients, channels, and geographic exposure to identify where your real ML/TF risk sits.
Program design
A written AML/CTF program — policies, procedures, and controls — built around how your business actually operates.
Implementation & training
We help you roll it out: compliance officer briefing, staff training, and the due diligence workflow embedded in your day-to-day.
Independent review
Scheduled evaluations keep the program current as your business, and the regulatory guidance, evolve.
Three things we hold ourselves to.
Genuinely independent
We don't sell or resell AML/CTF software. No vendor relationship shapes our advice in either direction.
Human-led, not software-first
A real compliance expert reviews your business — not a generic rules engine applied to every client the same way.
Plain English, always
If a requirement can't be explained in a sentence a non-specialist understands, we haven't finished explaining it.

A 20-minute call is usually enough to tell you exactly what you need — and what you don't.
