CCLS was pleased to support CHOICE by contributing to and endorsing the joint consumer advocate submissions to the Treasury regarding the Government’s proposed introduction of civil prohibitions and penalties for breaches of consumer guarantees and supplier indemnification provisions of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL)
This submission has been drafted with input and endorsement from:
- CHOICE
- Indigenous Consumer Assistance Network (ICAN)
- CPRC
- Westjustice
- Consumer Action Law Centre
- LawRight
- Redfern Legal Centre
- Consumer Credit Legal Service (WA) Inc. (CCLS)

We have long advocated for a robust, economy-wide prohibition and penalty regime to be introduced for non-compliance with consumer guarantees under the ACL. We have welcomed the Assistant Treasurer’s announcement that the Government will introduce penalties to the consumer guarantee regime. This submission responds to the focus questions in the consultation paper.
