AUSTRAC induction webinars for new reporting entities
An AUSTRAC induction webinar is orientation for a new reporting entity. It does not customise the starter kit, and a note that you attended is not the firm’s training register.
Quick answer
Send the principal if a session is running, and take notes against your own services. Then return to the starter kit and edit it. Do not treat attendance as enrolment, and do not treat a slide as the program. Session times live on AUSTRAC’s own channels; this page does not list them; the firm’s ongoing training duty is a different page; the firm suite is A$0.
People search “AUSTRAC induction webinar” when a newly regulated firm wants the official induction session and hopes the hour will stand in for the program. Checked against AUSTRAC’s note on rules and upcoming guidance on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. The firm’s training duty is AML/CTF training. Free training material of a different kind is free AML training. The sector map is /tranche-2.
Orientation is not the program
New reporting entities want to hear the regulator before they approve a document. That instinct is sound. The limit is what an hour can do. It can point you at enrolment, the starter kit, and the shape of customer due diligence.
It cannot know which services your suburban firm provides, and it cannot write the risk assessment. If AUSTRAC issues a record of attendance, file it as attendance. Do not file it as the program or as the training register for every staff member who did not attend.
- Go, if it is on. Use AUSTRAC’s own listing for the time. This page will not invent one.
- Notes against your services. Write what applied to your firm, not a transcript of the hour.
- Then the kit. Customise the starter kit after the session, while the gaps are still obvious.
- Training is separate. Staff who must be trained under the program need a register, not a principal’s calendar entry.
What the hour does not finish
An induction session against the firm’s own work. This table does not reproduce AUSTRAC’s webinar content.
| Job | The webinar | The firm afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| Hear the regulator | Yes, if you attend | Notes tied to your services |
| Enrol | It may tell you to | The lodgement and the receipt |
| Approve the program | No | A customised kit and a senior-manager approval |
| Train the staff named in the program | No, unless they were there and you record it | The training register |
Where the webinar page stops
This page is what an induction session is for. It is not the firm’s training duty, and it is not a catalogue of free courses. Those are AML/CTF training and free AML training.
What the client pays
On FreeAML the firm suite is A$0. The firm emails the client a link. Verification is client-pays. On the public list a personal KYC check is A$20 and a company or trust KYB check is A$40. Use KYB when the customer is a company or a trust. Watching an induction session is not included in the firm suite, and the suite does not register you for AUSTRAC’s calendar. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not register you for an induction webinar or replace your training record.
