CCA (Competition and Consumer Act 2010)

The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (the CCA) is the Australian Government’s primary legislation for protecting consumers, promoting fair trading and preventing anti-competitive activity in the marketplace. It contains a comprehensive set of laws that govern aspects of business practices including pricing, advertising, distribution, consumer protection and market dominance. The CCA applies to all companies doing business in Australia, whether local or foreign. It provides a clear framework for businesses to undertake fair and competitive practices, encouraging responsible economic growth while protecting both consumers and businesses from unfair practices.
