Have your rights as a consumer been breached?

If you have been sold a product or service that does not meet up to your expectations, it is important that you know your consumer rights to ensure you get the product or service that you paid for, or alternatively, that you receive fair compensation from the supplier when they have failed to meet your reasonable expectations.

What are Consumer Guarantees?

Consumer guarantees are an important part of Australia’s general fair trading and consumer protection laws. Under the ACL, consumer guarantees broadly refer to an extensive set of rules that apply to the supply of goods and services to consumers in the course of trade or commerce.

Many consumer guarantees are automatically provided to the consumer with any sale of a product or service, and as such, businesses have various automatic obligations as a provider of a product or service. Some of these obligations may include (but are not limited to) ensuring the following:
