ACCC authorisation: Pharmacy owners are reminded that there is an interim authorisation by the ACCC which enables pharmacies adversely affected by the COVID19 pandemic to discuss, share information and collectively negotiate with landlords regarding the support to be provided to tenants by landlords.
The authorisation also enables landlords to make agreements as to the nature of the relief to be offered to small and medium-sized enterprise tenants, such as pharmacies.
The ACCC also is currently consulting with interested parties on the following:
If you have been directly affected by the conduct under the interim authorisation granted by the ACCC on 19 May 2020, what is your experience to date.
Do you have any comments on the likely public benefits and detriments from the proposed conduct, whether the ACCC should authorise the conduct for a further 12 months, and whether any conditions should be placed on the authorisation.
More details are available on the ACCC website.
