“Beware not all staffs uphold the law. My rent in a student accommodation was raised $40pw above the advertised rate on their official website. Tenants usually get the standard rate as advertised on their website. Being charged way higher is similar to rent bidding and false advertising is illegal. CAV staff was yelling at me on the phone,” There is no cap to rent increase.” Well, what about false advertising or rent bidding? CAV ignored my email after.
Even supermarkets or retail stores never charge me above the retail price as displayed on their price tags..”

“A merry go round then your dropped off like sorry we won’t be helping you after all . You hope they help with serious lawbreakers but no sadly they don’t.

“I purchased an item from a Victorian company who sent a faulty product and refused to refund. Consumer Affairs Vic has no active investigators or compliance teams, and they are a waste of time, make you do all the paperwork, and then refer non compliance to the Tribunal which body has a wait list years long. My advice: DONT BUY ANYTHING from Victoria or victorian companies online or in person. You rely on luck or the good graces of the outfit you buy from and are assured total waste of money if you are unlucky and get a faulty product. Because CA Vic are useless, like its entire public service and the idiots called politicians. Be warned.”
“They do nothing in regard to rent increases, they promise all this action but when it all comes down to it they blow smoke up your as*e, obviously just a feel good government front to make renters feel someone's got their back when in fact they're in bed with landlords and estate agents, don't waste your time and just accept that blown out rent increases are part of this new normal.”
“When I originally did my research I found that they have all coverage plans seems to be the same. Difference is price and if they will actually cover your repair. This company covered my claim and was pretty reasonable with the pricing so I would recommend”
