School projects

Welcome to the school projects pages!

The information on these pages is designed to help secondary school students and their teachers learn more about consumer issues and the role of the Office of Fair Trading in New South Wales.

On other parts of our site you can find out what the Office does and what legislation we administer. You can also learn about your rights and responsibilities as a consumer, how to register a business, where to get information about safe products, and more.

On these pages you can find:

A brief history of consumer protection in NSW from early colonial days to the present

School projects links and contacts  - including Money Stuff, a multi-award-winning educational resource for teachers and students.

You will also find other pages that may be useful for projects:

Fair Trading and you - how the work of the Office of Fair Trading affects your everyday life, often without you knowing it

A student’s guide to consumer rights

If there is other information you would like us to add to these pages, or if you would like to contact us with your feedback, the Office’s email address is enquiry@fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

Good luck with your projects!
