Indigenous consumers

The ACCC provides information and services that may be of interest to Indigenous consumers.

We've compiled a collection of resources on product and child safety, how to recognise and avoid scams, your refund rights, and how to deal with door-to-door sales.

The resources are from the ACCC's websites and other government departments and organisations.
