    Partnerships

    If you believe compliance shouldn’t bankrupt small practices, we should talk.

    From 1 July 2026, new laws will require nearly one hundred thousand Australian businesses to comply with the AML/CTF Act for the first time. We’re looking for mission-aligned organisations who want to be part of the solution.

    The Opportunity

    The Regulatory Moment

    Tranche 2 of the AML/CTF Act brings lawyers, conveyancers, accountants, real estate agents and other professions under anti-money laundering obligations for the first time. The market for compliance tools, documentation and ongoing customer due diligence is entirely new.

    When New Zealand introduced equivalent laws, small practices were crushed by compliance costs. Some closed. HeadStart Docs™ was built to prevent that outcome in Australia, with sector-specific program packs, a $0 base portal subscription and flat-rate CDD at $35 per customer.

    We’re not looking for partners who want to resell a product. We’re looking for organisations that believe compliance should be accessible, affordable and built for the professionals who need it most.

    Partnership Opportunities
