Make a difference

AUSTRAC’s work in combating money laundering, the financing of terrorism and other major crime has taken on increasing importance in the contemporary global environment. This is due to both the increasingly international nature of organised crime and the heightened threat of terrorism.

Money laundering is the process by which criminals use the legitimate financial system to try to disguise the proceeds of crime by converting their illegal funds into seemingly legitimate funds and/or assets.

AUSTRAC’s role is twofold:

• Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulator
• Australia’s financial intelligence unit responsible for gathering, analysing and disseminating financial intelligence.
