Course Description:

'' Certain business conduct is prohibited under the Trades Practices Act 1974 (TPA). The TPA has two main parts, Part IV covers the Restrictive Trade Practice provisions, Part V covers the Consumer Protection provisions. The Restrictive Trades Practices provisions focus on higher-level business transactions such as mergers and takeovers, acquisitions, and conduct considered to substantially lessen competition within the market. The Consumer Protection provisions exist to protect the rights of consumers, and ensure fair competition is maintained.

This course broadly covers both parts of the TPA and is essential for all consumers, managers, high level executives, and goods and service providers in Australia.

This module uses everyday language and real-world examples, and is adapted from materials and experiences of the ACCC and from leading cases.
