The Centre for Advanced Consumer Research provides an independent, authoritative voice on consumer issues, and builds on the Law School's outstanding reputation for innovative, important and relevant research.
UWA and the Department of Consumer Employment and Protection joined forces in 2006 to create the Centre.
The Centre aims to improve the understanding of consumer markets and consumer protection frameworks, in part, by helping to prepare research proposals and tenders for externally funded research.
The Centre contributes to consumer policy in Western Australia and other Australian jurisdictions, and also bids for contracts to undertake legislative review projects.
In addition, it also provides expert teaching in consumer law and policy at a postgraduate and undergraduate level.
Workshops
The centre holds an intensive workshop which may count towards continuing professional development.
