Understanding your consumer rights under Australian law helps you know when you can claim a refund, replacement, or repair.


Key Points

  • Retailers are not legally required to offer refunds if you simply change your mind, though store policies may vary.
  • Automatic consumer guarantees protect you with a repair, replacement, or refund if a product is faulty or unsafe.
  • Statutory consumer rights still apply to sale items, and alternative proofs of purchase like bank statements are valid.
