WHO WE ARE

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) promotes competition and fair trading in markets to benefit consumers, businesses, and the community. We also regulate national infrastructure services. We ensure that individuals and businesses comply with Australian competition, fair trading, and consumer protection laws – in particular the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

MORE ABOUT US

Our purpose is making markets work for consumers, now and in the future.

We protect, strengthen and supplement the way competition works in Australian markets and industries to improve the efficiency of the economy and to increase the welfare of Australians.

We take action to protect competition or stop conduct that is anticompetitive or harmful to consumers.

Ali Khan Assistant Director

It is clear from the very top of the ACCC to junior staffing levels, that the organisation embraces workplace diversity. The Chief Operating Officer along with three Division heads are vocal LGBTI Allies. They are supported by Allies from SES, Director, EL and APS levels.

We regularly run Ally training for interested staff and there are LGBTI posters in the workplace. We also support LGBTI employees through our Workplace Diversity Strategy and awareness coordinated by the Ally Network.

As a gay man, I am comfortable to be myself in the workplace and I’m proud to work for the ACCC.
