Build Better Webinar: Understanding New Anti-Money Laundering Laws

Date: 11 February 2026
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location: Online
Cost: Free

The second phase of Australia’s anti-money laundering legislation (AML) is coming into effect for non-financial businesses and professions, and members should be aware of what this may mean for their business.

The AML introduces new regulatory obligations for certain listed services with the goal of better regulating high-risk sectors and bringing Australia in line with international standards.

Some of the reforms include:
• Enrolling with AUSTRAC
• An obligation to assess your business’s risk of falling victim to money laundering and financing terrorism, as well as developing policies to combat this and manage compliance with AML
• Appointing a compliance officer and other obligations

Members are invited to join us for this insightful webinar and hear first-hand from a member of the AML Team whether these reforms impact you, and what you need to do to be compliant.

Build Better Webinar: The Latest on Heavy Vehicle National Law

Date: 11 March 2026
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location: Online
Cost: Free

The Chain of Responsibility (CoR) under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) has a significant impact on the Australian construction industry because it shifts legal accountability beyond drivers to every party in the transport supply chain.

This webinar will cover its effects on construction businesses, builders, and contractors, including the broader legal duties and due diligence responsibilities.

The Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2025 was passed in QLD parliament in December 2025

The bottom line for the construction industry, CoR means:
• Greater shared accountability across the supply chain.
• Need for systematic compliance frameworks (policies, audits, digital tools).
• Higher legal and financial risk for executives and businesses that fail to act.
