Competition and Consumer Point-in-Time Service Updates

The Competition and Consumer Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the Administrative Review Tribunal (Miscellaneous Measures) Act 2025 (Cth) (Act No 14 of 2025) and the Scams Prevention Framework Act 2025 (Cth) (Act No 15 of 2025). 

Act 14 of 2025

This Act makes further and consequential amendments related to the abolishment of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and the establishment of the Administrative Review Tribunal (the Tribunal). The Act includes amendments to update references to the AAT; make technical amendments to support the efficient conduct of Tribunal review; and ensure the legislation operates as intended.

Act 15 of 2025

This Act implements a Scams Prevention Framework, which aims to protect the Australian community from scams by reducing gaps which scammers can exploit; introducing tough penalties for non-compliance; and establishing dispute resolution pathways for consumers to seek redress. The Act also makes some related amendments to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). 

These amendments have been updated in the Point-in-Time Competition and Consumer Service current to 20 February 2025. (NB: Subscription required).
