Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing for New Reporting Entities (AML/CTF)

AML/CTF Compliance and Risk Management for New Reporting Entities under Tranche 2

The short answer

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing for New Reporting Entities (AML/CTF) training is for staff at newly registered reporting entities, and it exists because of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (2006/2009). It runs online in about 35 to 40 minutes, or 20 to 30 minutes in the accelerated version. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

How it is delivered

  • Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.
  • Accelerated learning Allows learners who understand the topic to proceed quickly through the course in 20-30 minutes.

Two ways to run it

  • Your policies, your scenarios

    We rebuild “Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing for New Reporting Entities (AML/CTF)” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

    Build a custom version

  • Ready to run as it is

    Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

    Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

Choosing an LMS

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.

For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

Common questions

Who needs Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing for New Reporting Entities (AML/CTF) training?

It is written for staff at newly registered reporting entities in Australia. The obligation comes from Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (2006/2009), so if that applies to your organisation, the people it covers need this training.

How long does the course take?

There are two versions. Structured learning takes about 35 to 40 minutes and suits people new to the topic. Accelerated learning takes 20 to 30 minutes for people who already know it and need a refresher.

What does the course cover?

Modules include: Core and advanced AML/CTF obligations · Identifying and managing key financial crime risks · Regulatory reporting requirements · Practical steps to design, implement, and maintain AML/CTF programs · AML/CTF Basics · The Law. There are 23 modules in total.

By the end, participants can explain what money laundering is; explain what terrorism financing is; explain your responsibilities under the current law; describe the key changes introduced by Tranche 2.

How often does it need to be repeated?

There is no universal interval. Most Australian organisations run compliance training annually, with a shorter refresher at induction and after any policy change. Your own risk assessment and any regulator guidance set the actual cadence. We cover how to decide this properly.
