It has also had success in facilitating discussion between franchisees and franchisors to resolve problems, avoiding the potential for matters being escalated to a point where breaches of the Act arise.The ACCC's website can be found at www.accc.gov.au.Licensees and prospective Licensees can find information on the Franchising Code of Conduct available on the ACCC's website. The ACCC has an online guide to the Code available at the ACCC website.
