On 1 January 2011 the Australian Consumer Law commenced, replacing 20 different consumer laws across the Commonwealth and the States and Territories. Implementing identical consumer protection laws at Commonwealth and State/Territory levels has promoted consistency between jurisdictions. The provisions of the Australian Consumer Law broadly reflect the provisions previously afforded by the Trade Practices Act 1974, with some additional protections added.
