Message from the Minister 

I consider it a great privilege to be trusted with a portfolio that touches the lives of so many of my fellow citizens.

As Minister for Fair Trading, I am dedicated to achieving fairness for all in the marketplace and ensuring that the changing needs of our community are met. Delivering high quality services is a key commitment of the NSW Government.

Consumers are best served by competitive markets where businesses can compete fairly in compliance with the legislation.

NSW Fair Trading (a division of the Department of Finance and Services) safeguards consumer rights, regulates specific industries and occupations, and advises traders on fair and ethical business practices. NSW Fair Trading has a well deserved reputation for excellence in compliance and service delivery.

In countless daily transactions between consumers and traders, NSW Fair Trading is behind the scenes administering the laws and stamping out unfair practices.

The people of New South Wales deserve the benefits that come from a robust and fair marketplace. Please be assured of my energetic commitment to improving the way we do business, protecting our consumers and helping to grow our economy into the future.
