About Us
Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) play a vital role in the State’s racing and wagering ecosystem. As a government trading enterprise, we regulate and develop WA’s racing sector while operating the TAB — a multifaceted wagering business with more than 300 retail outlets and a growing digital presence.
Integrity, compliance and community are at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to delivering ethical outcomes that safeguard the racing community, ensure compliance with legislative obligations, and protect the public from financial crime and misconduct.
Job Description
We are Growing Our AML Team
Due to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) reforms coming into effect at the end of March 2026, we are expanding our AML capability to strengthen compliance and risk management. This is an exciting time to join us as we uplift our program.
As such, we are seeking an analytical, compliance-minded AML Advisor to join our Legal, Governance and Risk division. Reporting to the AML Governance Manager, this is an exciting opportunity to contribute to RWWA’s ongoing uplift in AML and CTF capability and compliance maturity.
About the Role
Operating within the second line of defence, the AML Advisor will provide expert advice, oversight and challenge to the business to ensure effective implementation of AML/CTF obligations and risk management practices. You will work closely with business units to design, monitor, and continuously improve AML/CTF controls, while ensuring alignment with AUSTRAC expectations and industry best practice.
This role is ideal for a compliance professional who thrives in an environment that combines technical rigour, investigative thinking, and collaboration to drive continuous improvement in financial crime governance.
Key responsibilities include:
Provide proactive AML/CTF advice and guidance to business units on compliance obligations, emerging risks, and control design.
Conduct reviews of high-risk or escalated cases (e.g. PEPs, sanctions, adverse media) and provide direction on appropriate actions.
Support the design, implementation, and maintenance of AML/CTF control frameworks, policies, and standards.
Participate in AML/CTF risk assessments and contribute to the development of monitoring and testing programs.
Review and evaluate the effectiveness of AML controls, identifying opportunities for enhancement or remediation.
Assist in the coordination of responses to audit findings, regulatory inquiries, and assurance reviews.
Prepare and deliver AML/CTF training and awareness sessions to promote a strong compliance culture.
Monitor emerging regulatory developments and typologies, ensuring RWWA’s frameworks remain current and effective.
Qualifications
About You
You are a motivated compliance professional who combines technical AML/CTF expertise with a practical understanding of governance and control frameworks.

Experience in compliance, governance, or risk oversight roles within a regulated environment.
