About this course

Debt collectors are governed by a range of statutory and common law obligations.

Together, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) have published a Debt Collection Guideline, which explains how the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Act (ASIC Act) and the National Consumer Credit Protection Act apply to debt collection activities.

Safetrac’s ‘Debt Collection’ course is based on the Debt Collection Guideline, providing businesses and their employees with an understanding of the legal obligations placed on debt collectors and creditors, with particular reference to individual debtors.
