Fair treatment? Summary of the guide to the Trade Practices Act 1974 for the advertising or promotion of medical and health services

This publication summarises the guide to the Trade Practices Act for advertising and promoting of medical and health services. The medical and health sectors are characterised by a marked disparity between the amount of information available to consumers and to service providers. Individual practitioners, professional associations, regulators, community and consumer organisations and governments all have a role in informing and educating consumers about medical and health services.
