Australian Consumer Law

ACL guides were developed by national, state and territory consumer protection agencies, aim to help businesses clarify their rights and obligations when problems arise.

The ACL is Australia’s national consumer law, which replaced previous consumer protection laws in the Commonwealth, states and territories in 2011. It applies at the Commonwealth level and in each state and territory.

The guides cover key aspects of the law such as refunds and sales practices, focusing on issues where:

  • industry bodies have asked for more detailed guidance for business
  • consumers frequently report problems to national, state and territory consumer protection agencies.
