LIV Tranche 2 resources for Victorian lawyers

LIV AML Tranche 2 resources are the Law Institute of Victoria’s. This page does not copy them; AUSTRAC’s professional designated services are the regulator’s list.

Quick answer

A Melbourne firm should open the Institute’s own site for the Institute’s material, and open AUSTRAC for the designated services and the starter kit. This article is a signpost. It does not summarise a member hub, and it does not turn a New South Wales society note into Victorian guidance. The program you approve is still yours.

People search “LIV AML Tranche 2” when a Melbourne firm wants the Law Institute of Victoria material and a plain AUSTRAC starting point on the same morning. Checked against AUSTRAC’s professional designated services page on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. Checks for the firm, rather than the Institute, are AML checks for lawyers. A different state note is the Law Society of NSW AML note. The sector map is /tranche-2.

Two sources, two owners

LIV AML Tranche 2 is a search for local help, and local help has an owner. The Law Institute of Victoria publishes what it publishes, to the people it publishes for. A commercial page should not pretend to be that hub, and it should not recycle a member PDF from memory. If you want the Institute’s wording, go to the Institute.

What this page can do is keep the AUSTRAC job visible on the same morning. Professional designated services, enrolment, and a starter kit you customise are the regulator’s side. They apply to a Victorian firm because of the services, not because of the postcode. The NSW society note on this site stays NSW; the general lawyer guide stays the how-to; neither one is an LIV publication.

  • Get Institute material from the Institute. This page does not copy it and does not keep a mirror.
  • Get the services list from AUSTRAC. Designated services do not change because the office is in Melbourne.
  • Customise the legal kit. A Victorian firm still edits the kit for its own matters. The Institute does not approve it for you.
  • Do not import another state. An NSW note is not LIV guidance. Say which page you are reading.

Where this page stops

This page is the signpost. It is not the national lawyer guide. That guide is Tranche 2 for lawyers.

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. Institute resources are not included in the firm suite. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not replace the Law Institute of Victoria or summarise its member pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the Institute for the Institute. Use AUSTRAC for the services.

The firm suite is A$0. The client pays a check the program requires. A member hub is not the check.
