Ensure your staff understand the essential rights and protections afforded to consumers in the marketplace, and can identify unfair practices and the steps necessary to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws.

As a business owner or employee, it is crucial to understand both your obligations and the rights of consumers.

Although consumer laws may vary across jurisdictions, the underlying principles are consistent, focusing on protecting consumers and businesses from unfair practices. In Australia, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces these regulations, and any breaches can result in significant penalties and reputational harm to your organisation.
