As outlined in our report into the official
investigation into international containerised shipping practices, the ACCC has requested feedback on suspicious behaviour that may indicate anti-competitive behaviour. Reports can be provided to the ACCC, including anonymously if preferred, via
https://www.accc.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-accc
FTA and APSA members of any size can use the 'small business' contact point, selecting the option corresponding on number of employees. The ACCC find that larger businesses often write rather than use their website contact form. FTA and APSA are assured that all contacts are centrally reviewed by the ACCC regardless of how they are made.
On the ACCC website form there is a tick box for if the party wishes to remain anonymous, however to assist with the ACCC assessment of the issue, it is preferred if members could still provide a name (even if only a first name) and note what type of party is making the complaint – eg. freight forwarder, importer/exporter etc. Obviously if members choose to remain anonymous, it can make it difficult for the ACCC if they need to seek further information to make an assessment of the alleged conduct or to respond to members enquiries.
