Are businesses able to claim under Consumer Protection in Australia? In the Netherlands a whole lot of consumer protections do not apply when buying as a company

[guidedlight]

Yes. Businesses are covered under Australia’s Consumer Protection if the value of the goods or services under consideration is less than A$100,000.

Some of the protections do apply to business purchases such as section 18 of the ACL which relates to misleading and deceptive conduct and section 29 regarding false or misleading representations. Businesses, will, in some scenarios (they need to meet the definition of consumer under the Act) also have access to consumer guarantees found under s51-59 which provide some of the stronger remedy options including full refunds.
