The Australian Consumer Law is a single, national law, which applies in the same way nationally and in each state and territory. It is the principal consumer protection law in Australia.
Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumers have the same protections and expectations about business conduct wherever they are in Australia. Similarly, businesses have the same obligations and responsibilities wherever they operate in Australia.
