What the ACCC does

  • We educate consumers and businesses about their rights and responsibilities
  • We accept reports where people consider a business is doing something it shouldn’t do. We use those reports to inform our education, compliance and enforcement work
  • We can investigate and may take some form of compliance or enforcement action if a business breaks the consumer law.

What the ACCC can't do

  • We don’t give legal advice on rights and responsibilities.
  • We don't resolve individual disputes between businesses and consumers.
