“The Australian Consumer Law is contained in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).”
The claim matches the text of the legislation and official government descriptions. Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) is the Australian Consumer Law. Broader points about state application laws and enforcement provisions add context, but they do not change the correctness of the statement.
“Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumer guarantees automatically apply when businesses sell goods or services to consumers.”
Australian law does impose consumer guarantees automatically on qualifying sales of goods and services to consumers. ACCC guidance and the legislation support that core point. The caveat is that "consumer" has a specific legal meaning under the ACL, and some transactions are excluded, so the rule is not universal to every purchase.
