Consumer advice


Making a complaint
Most complaints can be resolved quickly and effectively by talking or writing to the trader concerned. You can ring us at any time should you need advice or help.


Do not get scammed
If you get asked to send money upfront to get a bigger payback later - it might be a scam. If you receive an email out of the blue from a financial institution - someone might be phishing. Learn how to spot a scam.


Banned and dangerous goods
There are products that have been found to be hazardous to the health of consumers and have been permanently banned from sale in South Australia. Find out what they are.


Buying a used car
Make sure you spend time working out what you need and what you can afford before you commit to a purchase.
