Full course details can be found at www.bia.org.au/ training Australian Consumer Law – what you need to know The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) is the single, national consumer law that replaced the provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974 – it applies in the same way to all Australian consumers and businesses. The law will have an impact on your business operations, create new areas of risk exposure and change areas of compliance – for anyone who does business this is stuff you need to know, as there are substantial penalties for breach of warranty, or misleading or deceptive conduct. To help members understand the complexities, the BIA, along with the Motor Traders Association (MTA), ran free information sessions around NSW – from Bega in the South to Coffs Harbour in the North, and everywhere in between. It was standing-room only in some locations, with an impressive turnout wanting to make sure they had the “I’s dotted and the t’s crossed” when it comes to ACL and compliance. On the ‘need-to-know’ agenda are: component pricing, unfair contract terms, the Personal Properties Security Register, consumer guarantees and warranties, with an open Q&A to round it all up. Joining us to answer the tough questions and to walk through the details were representatives from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), making it a lively and incredibly informative session. Information from these sessions, including the topics covered, are available for download on www.bia.org.au Boating Industry Association of NSW Training Calendar 2012 (02) 9438 2077 training@bia.org.au Keep up to date www.bia.org.au/training March April May June July August September October November Marine Sales Professional Development 6,7 Sydney Electrical Test & Tag 15 Sydney Apply First Aid & Refresher 19 Sydney Marine Card 29 Newport 18 Gosford 10 Sydney 21 Port Macquarie 4 Sydney 29 Newcastle 11 Brooklyn 18 Sans Souci 14 Sydney Managing Environment, Health & Safety 5,6 Sydney Fire Training (2 hour) 29 Newport 10 Lake Macquarie 15 Part 1: Sydney 21 Sans Souci Marina Fire Safety Management 28 Part 2: Sydney Service & Repair Trailers (AURT23721A) 17 Sydney WHS Legislation - Regulations Various dates and locations available throughout March and April - full list available from www.bia.org.au/whs Computer Courses Various courses available in Sydney throughout the year - full list available from www.bia.org.au/training BIA of NSW LOGBOOK March 2012 - 27
