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
