Since the commencement of the ACL on 1 January 2011, consumer agencies across Australia have worked together to support greater cooperation in enforcement, education, policy and research. Consumer agencies release an annual report to update on the work of the Commonwealth and the states and territories in implementing, strengthening and improving the ACL. These reports highlight the enhanced coordination between consumer agencies and consistent approaches to consumer issues.
Starting from 2016-17, the report is presented in a new ‘Year in Review’ format, with a focus on the ACL’s ongoing operation and development rather than implementation.
