Question 1

Do I still need a solicitor for AML/CTF Tranche 2 compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HeadStart Docs products are digital publications that give you a substantial head start, but they must be reviewed and tailored by a qualified solicitor to your specific business circumstances before implementation.

Question 2

How is HeadStart Docs different from the free AUSTRAC Starter Kits?

Accepted Answer

AUSTRAC Starter Kits are generic starting points that require significant customisation. HeadStart products are sector-specific, pre-populated with industry-relevant risk factors and scenarios, and include 12 months of AML Portal access for ongoing compliance including screening, record keeping and reporting tools.

Question 3

What if the AML/CTF rules change after I purchase?

Accepted Answer

Your digital products are yours to keep. If significant regulatory changes occur, updated versions will be available to active portal subscribers. The AML Portal itself is continuously updated to reflect current AUSTRAC requirements and sanctions lists.

Question 4

What happens after my 12-month AML portal access expires?

Accepted Answer

Your documentation is yours forever. To continue using the AML Portal (screening tools, compliance calendar, record keeping), you pay $35 per customer CDD. Cancel anytime — no subscription required.

Question 5

Is HeadStart Docs a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. HeadStart Docs is a digital publisher and platform provider. We sell digital compliance products and portal access. We do not provide legal advice. Referrals for legal advice can be made to our related law firm, HeadStart Counsel.

Question 6

When does AML/CTF Tranche 2 commence in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Tranche 2 AML/CTF obligations commence on 1 July 2026. All reporting entities in designated sectors including lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, conveyancers, and trust and company service providers must have their AML/CTF programs in place by this date.
