The Competition and Consumer Protection for FMCG Course Australia is designed to address the specific competition and consumer law risks faced by businesses operating in fast moving consumer goods markets.
The nature of FMCG markets, including high volume sales, promotional pricing, complex supply chains and product safety obligations, creates heightened exposure to breaches of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA). This specialised course helps FMCG organisations understand and manage those risks.
Competition and Consumer Protection is one of GRC Solutions’ most popular course topics. This FMCG edition includes scenarios and case studies that are directly relevant to FMCG operations, making the law practical and accessible for frontline staff, managers and senior executives.
Alongside general overviews of competition and consumer law for all staff, the course includes optional advanced modules covering advertising, product liability and additional workflow responsibilities of managers and senior leaders. This modular structure provides flexibility to tailor training based on roles and risk exposure.
The course is up to date with reforms to the unfair contract terms regime and the revised maximum penalties for breaches of competition and consumer law. It also explains the role and powers of the regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and the types of conduct it is likely to investigate.
Importantly, this training is focused on practical application. Learners receive clear guidance on how to avoid hefty penalties and personal liability, using plain English, real life examples and an engaging visual design.
