If you are a service station retailer and need help with a dispute, Diablo Lawyers can help in several ways, including:

  • Compliance with the Code: We can advise oil industry participants on the requirements of the Oil Code of Conduct and help them ensure compliance with the Code. We can also help businesses develop policies and procedures to comply with the Code.
  • Contract review: We can review fuel supply agreements and disclosure documents to ensure they comply with the Oil Code of Conduct and other applicable laws and regulations.
  • Dispute resolution: If a dispute arises under the Oil Code of Conduct, we can assist with resolving the dispute through negotiation or mediation.
  • Enforcement and investigations: We can represent participants in investigations or enforcement actions by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or other regulatory authorities.
  • Training and education: We can provide training and education to participants in the oil industry on the requirements of the Oil Code of Conduct and best practices for compliance.

The Oil Code of Conduct in Australia  governs the conduct of companies involved in the supply of petroleum products in Australia.  The Code was introduced in 2006 by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to promote fair competition and transparency in the petroleum industry.

Under the Oil Code, petroleum suppliers must provide their customers with clear and accurate information on the prices, terms, and conditions of their products and services.  They must also provide timely and accurate information on changes to prices, terms, and conditions.  Additionally, the Code requires suppliers to have effective dispute resolution procedures in place to address complaints and disputes with customers.

The Code is administered by the ACCC, which monitors compliance with the Code and investigates any complaints or breaches of the Code.

The Code applies to suppliers of petrol, diesel, and other petroleum products, including wholesalers, distributors, and retailers.

At Diablo Lawyers, we can help you abide by those codes to keep your business running.
