The Consumers Online website

On 1 January 2011 the Trade Practices Act 1974 was renamed the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is reviewing this website and its publications to reflect this name change, and changes to the law brought about by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) which forms part of the renamed Act. For further information call the ACCC Infocentre on 1300 302 502 or visit the Australian Government website www.consumerlaw.gov.au for detailed guidance to the new law.

The Consumers Online website has been incorporated into the consumer pages of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) website. Contacts from the Australian Consumer Handbook Online can now be found in the ACCC’s Consumer and business directory.
