AML/CTF Training That Actually Works (and Gets Remembered)

Recent AUSTRAC cases have sent shockwaves through the hospitality and gaming industry, putting AML/CTF compliance firmly back in the spotlight. For many venues, the biggest weakness AUSTRAC finds isn’t just policies or paperwork, it’s training.

Traditional AML/CTF training has become a tick-the-box exercise. Staff sign a sheet, sit through a generic presentation and promptly forget what they heard. That might look good in a binder, but it won’t hold up under AUSTRAC scrutiny or in real-world risk situations.

The truth is, effective training needs to be role-based, relevant and easy to access. And that’s exactly where ComplianceTrackr changes the game.

Why Role-Based Training Matters

Every level of your organisation faces different compliance obligations. A “one size fits all” session just doesn’t cut it. Here’s what each role actually needs to know:

Board and Directors – Legal governance obligations, accountability and the personal consequences of AML/CTF breaches.
Compliance Officers – Oversight, transaction monitoring and recognising patterns that don’t align with risk profiles.
Managers – Venue-level compliance, risk flagging, escalation processes and ensuring frontline teams are supported.
Frontline Staff – How to spot red flags, handle suspicious activity and report concerns safely and correctly.

When training is tailored this way, people don’t just “do it”. They remember it and use it.

How ComplianceTrackr Delivers Training That Sticks

With ComplianceTrackr, training isn’t a once-a-year chore. It’s built into your operations:

In-app role-based training modules – Directors, managers and staff each see only what’s relevant to them.
Reminders and refreshers – Training can be scheduled and tracked digitally, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
On-demand learning – Videos, quizzes and practical scenarios your team can access anytime, anywhere.
Audit-ready records – Proof of training completion stored automatically, ready to show AUSTRAC.

No more forgotten training folders or sessions. Just practical, memorable training that keeps your team and your venue protected.

AUSTRAC doesn’t expect perfection, but they do expect preparation. The Mounties case is a warning for the industry: gaps in training will be found and penalties will follow. If you’re ready to take AML/CTF training seriously:
