Protection under Australian Consumer Law

As a student undertaking a vocational education and training course, you are protected under Australian Consumer Law and also under state and territory consumer protection laws.

 

These protections include areas such as unfair contract terms, a consumer guarantee to a statutory cooling-off period, and protection from unscrupulous sales practices.

 

You can find out more information about your rights as a consumer from the Australian Consumer Law website, which includes a range of helpful guides relating to specific areas of protection.
