Australian Consumer Law

Consumer disputes, resolved properly

When goods fail, a service falls short, or certain contracts and terms are called into question, the Australian Consumer Law sets out who is responsible and what remedies can apply. We help businesses and consumers understand where they stand and work towards a practical resolution.

People focused. Resolution driven.

Why it matters

When a sale becomes a dispute

The Australian Consumer Law, found in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), applies to most businesses that sell goods or services in Australia. Consumer guarantees apply automatically and cannot be excluded by contract

Most consumer disputes begin with something small but how the first response is handled, often decides whether the matter settles quickly or becomes a formal claim.
