Buying groups

There is an exception to the cartel offences and civil prohibitions in relation to price fixing where the cartel provision being considered relates to:

  • the price for goods or services to be collectively acquired, or
  • joint advertising of the price for the resupply of those goods or services.

Businesses wishing to form a buying group should seek legal advice to ensure that their arrangement is covered by the buying group exemption.
