Australia, 29 September 2026 - The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), the peak body representing real estate professionals across Queensland, has launched a native integration with the First AML platform in its real estate forms platform, Realworks.
Realworks is the leading real estate forms platform for real estate agents in Queensland. Agents initiate AML checks directly from Realworks, while the full compliance process is completed and managed in First AML.
The integration gives agencies support for their AML obligations: a trusted provider to work with, and an operational path that removes the step of re-entering client details into a separate system and gives agents visibility of AML status against the transaction they are already working on. The integration is reinforced by a shared business approach of best practice and innovation.
"The REIQ exists to help Queensland's real estate professionals stay a step ahead and to lead a sustainable industry, and that means giving members compliance tools that hold up under scrutiny," said Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the REIQ.
"The integration connects First AML with Realworks customers allowing them to meet their AML obligations from the platform they already use to write a contract, rather than bolting on another process."
With the AML regulations now two months into effect, agencies are looking for solutions that are workable in practice and aligned to the realities of agency life. "Agents should not have to become AML specialists to sell a house," said Milan Cooper, CEO and Co-Founder of First AML. "Being connected into Realworks, means the check starts where the agent already is and the work is done properly in First AML behind the scenes." The integration is available now.
