How to Prepare for Australia’s New Crypto Regulatory Framework
Presented by Notabene <> TRM Labs
🎥 Format: On-demand Webinar
Australia’s Crypto Travel Rule Countdown is on
Australia’s crypto AML/CTF regime is entering a new phase. From 31 March 2026, the reformed framework takes effect, expanding AUSTRAC oversight across virtual asset services. Mandatory Travel Rule compliance—no thresholds, no exceptions—follows from 1 July 2026, requiring both existing and newly regulated VASPs to have controls in place by that date.
TRM Labs and Notabene are bringing together industry leaders and experts for a practical walkthrough of what Australia’s new crypto regulatory framework means for your business, and how to prepare before enforcement begins. This webinar will explore the real-world implications of Australia’s Travel Rule requirements for VASPs and financial institutions operating in or servicing Australia.
The session is designed to bridge regulatory expectations and operational reality, covering:
- What’s changing under Australia’s AML/CTF reforms
- How the Crypto Travel Rule works in Australia
- Key compliance obligations for VASPs
- Practical implementation guidance
Speakers:
- Angela Ang – Head of Policy & Strategic Partnerships APAC, TRM Labs
- Lana Schwartzman – VP, Global Regulatory & Compliance Strategy, Notabene
- Dianah N. Igati – Regional Head of Compliance, Pepperstone
- Antonio Alvarez Lorenzo - Chief Compliance Officer, Crypto.com
- Liam Hennessy - Partner, Thomas Geer
Australia’s 2024 AML/CTF reforms modernize how value transfers are regulated—bringing crypto firmly in line with FATF Recommendations 15 and 16. The changes significantly expand the scope of regulated activity and introduce Travel Rule obligations for both domestic and cross-border virtual asset transfers.
If you operate a crypto exchange, custodial wallet, transfer service, or token-related business, these changes apply to you.
This webinar is designed to help you move from awareness to execution—before the compliance deadline.
