Australia has a unified, single legal system, so

businesses only have to comply with one set of laws.

There is a central Federal government as well as State

and Territory governments that all have law making powers, so businesses are

subject to laws passed at both levels of government.

There is more than one system of government – a

central Federal government as well as governments of the States and Territories

– but businesses only have to comply with laws passed by the Federal

Parliament.

Australia has a system of States and

Territories, so businesses have to comply with just one set of laws at any one

time, but those laws might be different depending on where in Australia the

business is located.
