Australian equivalent of Better Business Bureau?

Question

In the US, a person can check with the Better Business Bureau to see if a company is reputable or not. Is there some equivalent to that agency in Australia?

Answer 1

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is an independent Commonwealth statutory authority. It was formed in 1995 to administer the Trade Practices Act 1974 and other acts.

The ACCC promotes competition and fair trade in the market place to benefit consumers, business and the community. It also regulates national infrastructure services. Its primary responsibility is to ensure that individuals and businesses comply with the Commonwealth competition, fair trading and consumer protection laws.
