ACCC COVID-19 Taskforce

The ACCC has established a COVID-19 Taskforce which is speaking to business “about their obligations in relation to cancellations, refunds and suspension of services as a result of COVID-19,” among other things.

Although it is authorising an unprecedented range of activity, the ACCC maintains that ‘competition in the long term will be critical’ and is working to ensure any c’changes to the competitive landscape now are temporary’.
