# Status record and content updates

Source comparison: 2026-09-14. Later developments require a fresh source review. A missing update is not evidence that no later document exists.

Enacted Act, Gazette, Register and recent ACCC material compared. No dedicated regulations or final guidance identified in the official locations checked; this is not proof of absence or a complete current ACL compilation review.

## What changes here

Updates to this portal fall into a small number of kinds. Each is published as the current position rather than as a running log of earlier wording.

- Verified legal status: enactment, commencement, regulations, guidance and enforcement.

- New or expanded practice guides and visual examples.

- New research explainers and updated readings of published studies.

- New or rechecked entries in the source register.

- Corrections to a statement, date or source mapping.

## Why there is no detailed revision log

This portal publishes only its current statement on each topic. Superseded wording is not retained in a public archive and claim records carry no predecessor revisions, so a statement that has been corrected or replaced cannot be read here as if it still applied.

If a statement, date or source mapping appears wrong, use the [correction process](https://unfairtrading.com/corrections/). Substantive issues are checked against the underlying source and the affected page is updated.

## Review scope and open questions

The record covers the primary documents listed beside each claim. It is not an exhaustive search for all subsequent legislation, instruments, guidance or enforcement. The absence of an entry means only that none is recorded here.

**What this comparison covered**

The enacted text still sets commencement for 1 July 2027. The ACCC reiterated the forthcoming reforms on 3 September 2026. No dedicated prescribing instrument or final implementation guide was identified in the official locations checked on 14 September.

This source comparison checked the amending Act, register records, Treasury and ACCC material, and the research basis of the learning library. The latest ACL compilation was identified, but its full consumer-law volume could not be retrieved. Negative search results do not establish that no later instrument exists. Illustrative practice labels remain editorial analysis.
