AML/CTF High Risk Role Training
Financial crime risks continue to evolve, and frontline teams play a crucial role in protecting the business, customers, and the community. This course will give you the awareness and practical skills to recognise and respond to unusual behaviour that may indicate money laundering or terrorism financing.
Course overview
Employees in high-risk roles play a critical part in identifying and responding to suspicious activity. In industries such as hospitality, gaming, and financial services, failing to manage AML/CTF risks can lead to significant regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
This course provides targeted AML/CTF training to help high-risk staff understand their responsibilities, recognise red flags, and follow correct reporting procedures in line with organisational policy.
Money laundering and terrorism financing can expose businesses to serious legal and financial consequences. Staff working in high-risk roles are often the first to notice unusual customer behaviour or transaction patterns. This course helps them act confidently, follow the correct escalation process, and protect the organisation from financial crime risk.

Legal context
Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth), reporting entities must implement a compliant AML/CTF Program and ensure staff in high-risk roles receive appropriate risk-based training.
Failure to comply with AML/CTF obligations can result in enforcement action, significant fines, and regulatory scrutiny by AUSTRAC. Providing role-specific AML/CTF training is a key compliance requirement.
