Why This Isn't Optional Anymore
Why This Isn't Optional Anymore
AUSTRAC Tranche 2 compliance has been mandatory since 1 July 2026. The enrolment deadline - 29 July 2026 - has already passed. If your firm doesn't yet have a working, independently reviewable AML/CTF program - whether your AML/CTF compliance needs sit in Victoria or elsewhere in Australia - the priority now is closing that gap quickly and correctly, starting with an AML readiness diagnostic that shows exactly where you stand.
There's a genuinely good range of tools and expert services in the market today - software platforms that handle identity verification and screening well, and experienced consultants who can help write a compliance program properly. Each does part of the job well. What's often missing is someone who brings the right combination together for your specific practice, configures it properly, trains your team to actually use it day to day, and stays accountable for the result.
That's what Verticon does. We assess what your firm genuinely needs, bring in the right tools and expertise for the job - including recommending an existing solution where that's honestly the best fit for you - and make sure it's properly implemented, trained, and maintained. The goal isn't to sell you a product. It's to help you stay compliant and avoid the cost of getting this wrong.
The Verticon difference — vendor-agnostic selection, hands-on implementation, personal accountability.
Diagnostic → Implementation → Ongoing Health-Check, with indicative pricing.
Backed by 20 years of enterprise delivery experience in regulated environments (banking, superannuation).
Built for Four Professions, Not a Generic Template
Built for Four Professions, Not a Generic Template
AUSTRAC Tranche 2 Law Firms
Trust account disbursements, complex entity structures, estate and trust administration - your risk profile isn't the same as a sole conveyancer's, and your compliance program shouldn't read like one.
AUSTRAC Tranche 2 Conveyancers
High-value settlements, unfinanced purchases, SMSF and trust buyers - the property transaction is exactly where AUSTRAC's own National Risk Assessment says laundering risk concentrates.
AUSTRAC Tranche 2 Accountants
Overseas ownership, cross-border fund flows, company and trust structuring advice - client relationships built on trust are also the ones that need the clearest documented boundaries.
AUSTRAC Tranche 2 Real Estate Agents
Cash deposits, overseas buyers, last-minute changes to who's actually purchasing - the frontline of property transactions carries obligations most agencies have never had before.
The Verticon Method
The Verticon Method
Three steps, fully transparent — not a black box.
Three steps, fully transparent — not a black box.
1. Diagnostic (3-5 days)
A short readiness check scores your actual gaps across People, Process, and Systems - not a generic checklist. You get a written result and an honest recommendation, including if the answer is "you're probably fine."
2. Implementation (2-6 weeks, priced to what you actually need)
Either a fixed-price build covering everything, or an itemized quote for just the specific gap the diagnostic found - program documentation, staff training, and system configuration, delivered hands-on, not handed to you as a PDF.
3. Ongoing Health-Check
Escalation support, staff refreshers, and regulatory updates as AUSTRAC's guidance changes - plus we tell you honestly when it's time for your mandatory independent evaluation, arranged through an unaffiliated reviewer since we can't review our own work.
What It Costs
What It Costs
Readiness Diagnostic | $750 one-off credited in full toward Tier 1/2 implementation if you proceed within 60 days of your diagnostic
Implementation (Tier 1, 3-12 staff) | Contact us for a tailored quote
Implementation (Tier 2, 12-40+ staff) | Contact us for a tailored quote
Ongoing Health-Check | $450/month
Exact pricing depends on your diagnostic result - these are typical ranges, not a quote.
Questions Worth Asking Before You Buy Anything
Questions Worth Asking Before You Buy Anything
"My practice management software already offers this for free - why do I need you?"
"My practice management software already offers this for free - why do I need you?"
Worth checking whether it covers your specific entity mix - it's a genuinely good option for some firms. What it doesn't do is independently review itself, train your staff to actually use it, or take responsibility if something's missed.
"How is this different from a $25,000 legal consultancy?"
"How is this different from a $25,000 legal consultancy?"
A consultancy hands you a document. We configure the actual tools, train your actual staff, and stay on as an ongoing relationship - the document is the easy 20% of the problem, not the whole thing.
"Can't I just read the AUSTRAC starter kit myself?"
"Can't I just read the AUSTRAC starter kit myself?"
For a very simple practice, possibly. But AUSTRAC's own rules require your program to be reviewed by someone who didn't build it - which means even a perfectly self-written program still needs an outside party eventually. That's a structural fact, not a sales pitch.
"What if my software has no way to integrate with a compliance tool?"
"What if my software has no way to integrate with a compliance tool?"
Then we tell you that upfront, before you pay for something we can't deliver - and build you a documented manual process instead, priced honestly for what it actually is.
Who's Actually Doing the Work
Who's Actually Doing the Work
Verticon is built on two decades of enterprise regulatory delivery experience across Australian banking and superannuation - including compliance-reporting work that directly touched APRA, ASIC, and AUSTRAC, at some of the country's largest financial institutions.
That's the standard this business holds itself to: not RegTech vendor product training, but real, accountable delivery of complex regulatory programs inside real organisations - brought to firms that have never had access to that level of experience before, at a scale that actually fits them.
