Australia’s consumer law regime is entering a new phase, with expanded unfair contract terms (UCT) enforcement already in effect and sweeping unfair trading reforms proposed to commence in 2027. These changes will introduce broad, principles-based prohibitions targeting conduct that distorts consumer behaviour, particularly in digital environments. With limited guidance and heightened regulatory scrutiny, lawyers must prepare now to manage risk and advise clients in an uncertain and evolving landscape. 

This seminar will discuss: 

  • Overview of Unfair Trading Reforms (2027) - Competition and Consumer Amendment (Unfair Trading Practices) Bill 2026 . 
  • The new proposed unfair trading prohibition. 
  • What may constitute “unreasonable manipulation” and “distortion”. 
  • Dark patterns in online sales and user journeys. 
  • Drip pricing and mandatory fee disclosure. 
  •  ‘Subscription traps’, renewals and easier cancellation pathways. 
  • UCT enforcement trends and drafting pitfalls. 

This seminar will help you spot risk earlier, tighten contract and customer-journey reviews, and ensure you give clear compliance advice before the new regime starts.
