Complying with the Competition and Consumer Act
The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) applies to just about every aspect of a business - including advertising, price setting, and transactions with consumers and other businesses.
Your business can benefit from complying with the CCA. It minimises the risk of breaking the law and may actually improve performance by giving your business a competitive edge.
If you want to:
- improve your customer relations
- enhance your reputation
- effectively assess and manage risks
- avoid the costs of legal proceedings
- increase your staff awareness about fair trading laws
then consider establishing your own compliance program.
What to do...
- See how to set up a compliance program on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website.
- Download the Small business guide to trade practices compliance programs for advice on how implementing a compliance program can reduce your risk of breaching the Competition and Consumer Act.
- Contact the ACCC small business helpline on 1300 302 021.
