Redacted suspicious matter report example for a property file

People search “suspicious matter report example” when a suburban agency wants a sample it can copy onto a listing file. Checked against AUSTRAC's real estate suspicious-activity indicators on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. What Tranche 2 firms report, in principle, is the suspicious matter report page. What you must not tell the client is tipping off. The sector map is /tranche-2.

What a redacted example is for

A suspicious matter report example is useful in a training folder and dangerous on a listing file. The useful version is redacted: customer type rather than a name, suburb rather than an address, and a category of concern rather than a finished narrative. Staff learn the shape. They do not learn a paragraph to reuse.

The agency does not show that page to the vendor or the buyer. Discussing a possible report with the customer is a tipping-off problem. The tipping-off page states the limit. This page does not offer a clever way around it.

• Train on categories. Funds path unexplained, a party who will not be identified, a third person with no clear role. Categories are not a script.
• Remove the people. A training copy has no client name, no address, and no identifying detail.
• Keep it out of the deal. The example is not an annexure to the listing authority and not an email to the client.
• Do not lodge the example. AUSTRAC Online is the report. A Word file in the training folder is not.

The shape, with nothing you can file

A principal can show four headings in a staff session. Each heading is a label, not model wording. If the session starts drafting sentences that could be pasted into a report, it has left training and started a lodgement the compliance officer should control.

Where the example stops

This page is the training shape. It is not how you lodge, and it is not a decision that a particular listing is suspicious. Lodgement principles are on the suspicious matter report page.

FreeAML does not submit reports and does not store a sample narrative for you to reuse. The agency keeps its own reporting channel.

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. Training on a redacted example is not a customer check, and it is not a report FreeAML lodges for the agency. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not lodge a suspicious matter report, tell you whether a file is suspicious, or draft the words you send.
