Australia Consumer Tribunal Application — Australian Consumer Law
Stage-2 of the Australian consumer chain.

The ACL is national; the forum varies by state. You complete and lodge it in your own name. $9 returning-buyer price for stage-1 (australia-acl-consumer-guarantee-demand) buyers.

Your consumer tribunal application
This builds a clear application narrative for your state/territory consumer tribunal or court. The Australian Consumer Law applies nationally; only the forum differs by state. Most details come from your stage-1 ACL demand.
This letter will cite
Australian Consumer Law (Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) Sch 2) — consumer guarantees s 54-56 (services s 60-61); remedies s 259; major failure s 260 (consumer chooses refund/replacement).
Apply to your state consumer tribunal/court (NCAT/VCAT/QCAT/SACAT/ACAT/NTCAT or the Magistrates Court). These forums are built for self-represented consumers; confirm the current monetary limit and fee with your state consumer-protection office.
What you bought, what went wrong, when, the supplier's response, and any repair attempts. Note your evidence (receipt, photos, messages, a report).
Before you start
What exactly do I get, and when?
A personalized PDF letter, written around the statute that applies to your situation, with the deadline and the consequence spelled out. It downloads the moment payment confirms, back here on commoner-law.com — there is no waiting period and no account to create.
How much is it?
$19, once. Not a subscription, and nothing is charged until you complete payment on Stripe at the end of the wizard. Any add-ons you select show their own price before you pay.
Is this legal advice?
Self-help narrative; not legal advice and we are not a law firm. The Australian Consumer Law is national, but the tribunal/court, its monetary limit, and the fee differ by state and territory — confirm with your state consumer-protection office before lodging.
What if I need to change something afterwards?
Tell us and we will either adjust the letter and send you the updated version at no cost, or refund you in full — your choice. If we can’t deliver what you paid for, the refund is automatic. Full terms are on our promise page.
Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?
No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
