Ready by Design builds the operational readiness system that sits behind your verification platform — your process documented, your team trained, your workflows rebuilt around how your business actually works, and your program ready for your principal or director to approve and go live.
You operate independently with no ops team to figure this out. You need a simple, practical system built around your process, your buyer types, and your day-to-day reality — not a generic template.
You have a team, a CRM and an existing sales process. What you don't have is a clear picture of what needs to change, who owns each step, and how to train your staff to follow it consistently.
You sell direct — boutique developer, project marketer or land estate operator. Your in-house sales team manages the buyer relationship from enquiry to settlement across multiple projects, and every handoff point is now a compliance checkpoint.
Enrolment is not a program. A downloaded template is not a system. If your team hasn't been trained, your CDD process isn't documented, or you simply haven't started — you're exposed right now. The faster you move, the better your position.
Your program is live but compliance doesn't stop at go-live. Staff change, processes evolve, AUSTRAC updates guidance. Retainer support keeps your system current, your team trained, and your records organised and up to date.
Most businesses don't struggle with AML/CTF obligations because they ignored the rules. They struggle because nobody translated the rules into the way their team actually works — the CRM stages, the EOI handoffs, the foreign buyer who needs FIRB flagged before contract, the trust purchaser nobody thought to verify.
I design the operating rhythm that allows a real estate business to move through regulatory change without losing momentum. I map your existing process, identify every gap, rebuild your workflows with compliance embedded at every decision point, make CRM field recommendations, train your team, and guide implementation from start to finish — delivering a complete program your principal, director or senior manager approves and your team goes live with.
"I'm here, I'm living it, I've implemented it — and I'm here to help you."
How it works
All documents are provided as drafts for review and approval by the client's appointed AML/CTF Compliance Officer, director, principal or senior manager. Ready by Design does not provide legal advice or regulatory certification.
Before this page had a single visitor, three complete AML/CTF programs had already been built and delivered — a multi-state project marketing agency, a Queensland property developer, and a solo licensed agent in Melbourne. In every engagement, the full program was built from scratch: risk assessment, policy, process documentation, CRM configuration, staff training delivered in person to the whole team including the CEO and company directors, and sign-off completed. Each business went from zero to a fully operational, documented readiness system.
The deliverables below are what every engagement produces. Built around how each business actually works — not a generic template.
Penalty figures are indicative maximums published under the AML/CTF Act 2006. Actual penalties depend on the nature and frequency of contraventions. This is general information only — not legal advice.
Content is representative only. No client names, specific data or confidential information is shown.
AUSTRAC doesn't audit your software subscription. It audits your program — your written policy, your documented process, your staff training records, your CDD decisions. The platform is one tool inside a system. I build the system.
Three clear packages. Essential and Foundation include the same core build — Foundation scales for more staff, active CRM and multiple projects, and adds a live Zoom session.

Compared to a law firm: Fixed price, full operational build, 30–60 days of support included. Not billed by the hour. Not a document dropped in your inbox.
Compared to compliance software: A platform handles your CDD checks. I build the system it sits inside — your process, your team trained, your program tailored to how you actually sell.
Compared to doing it yourself: AUSTRAC requires your program to be approved by a principal, director or senior manager — not a lawyer. I get you to that point with a complete, structured readiness system, ready for internal approval and go-live.
