Personal Services

Motor Vehicles Sales and Repairs Note that this guide applies to the purchase of new motor vehicles. For further information about the purchase of secondhand vehicles under state legislation, see the Law Handbook page on Second Hand Motor Vehicles.

Travel and Accommodation

The guides provide a useful summary of the Australian Consumer Law with examples.

The ACCC (in cooperation with other regulators) also addresses risks from safety hazards in consumer products by reviewing and updating mandatory standards and product recalls. Mandatory standards are in place for goods such as baby items, aquatic toys, basketball rings and backboards, beanbags, helmets, window fittings, bunk beds and button and coin batteries.
