  • Collaborate with internal teams and external regulators to develop resources and guidance aligned with new AML/CTF Rules and ASIC guidance.
  • Monitor practitioner engagement and contribute to the AML Working Group’s initiatives.
  • Deliver webinars, workshops, and outbound campaigns to support practitioner compliance and awareness.

  • Experience in legal practice, regulatory environments, or AML/CTF regimes.
  • Experience in the development and management of risk management programs.
  • A strong understanding of the regulatory and compliance frameworks in which Victorian lawyers operate.
  • Strong presentation, training, and risk assessment skills.
  • High emotional intelligence, resilience, and discretion.

  • Two fixed-term roles are available, each on an 18–24-month contract.
  • Salary Range: $120,000 – $150,000 + Super + Salary packaging
  • A career-defining opportunity to lead AML/CTF compliance support in the legal sector.
