Market context
Australian prices are shown in AUD with the 10% goods and services tax already included, and since July 2018 overseas sellers and marketplaces have collected GST on imported goods worth A$1,000 or less, so a visitor in Australia and a visitor abroad can be quoted different totals for the same listing. Delivery estimates and shipping fees follow the postcode, and metro Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane addresses usually get faster options than regional Western Australia, the Northern Territory or Tasmania. Time zones add a second layer: Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory skip daylight saving, so from October to April a sale that opens at midnight in Sydney opens at 11 pm in Brisbane. Afterpay, which started in Australia, sits beside Zip, PayPal and cards at many checkouts.
Teams tracking prices and assortment usually start with Amazon.com.au, eBay Australia and JB Hi-Fi for general merchandise, and with Woolworths and Coles for groceries, where specials change every week and the products offered depend on the delivery address. Gumtree carries much of the second-hand market, and realestate.com.au leads property search, with listings, auction results and rents that differ sharply between capital cities.
Google handles the large majority of Australian searches, and its local packs and Shopping results change from city to city, so a ranking checked from Perth can differ from one checked in Sydney. Bing is the main alternative and feeds Microsoft Advertising placements. Personal information is covered by the Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles, amended in December 2024, and a second round of reforms was released as an exposure draft on 31 August 2026.
Australia's sales calendar follows its own tax year and southern-hemisphere seasons. The financial year ends on 30 June, so June brings end-of-financial-year sales on computers, office furniture, cars and appliances as businesses buy before the tax year closes. Amazon.com.au takes part in Prime Day, usually held in July, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become major Australian events in late November. Because Christmas falls in summer, Boxing Day sales on 26 December land in peak season for air conditioners, barbecues and swimwear rather than winter goods, so seasonal price comparisons with Europe or North America only work when the dates are aligned.

print(response.json())Often, yes. Retailers set delivery fees, dispatch times and sometimes stock by postcode, so a Perth or Darwin address can see different options from Sydney or Melbourne. Google's local packs and near-me results follow the searcher's city. Timing shifts too: Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not use daylight saving, so between October and April a promotion scheduled for midnight in Sydney goes live at 11 pm in Brisbane. Check from each state you sell or advertise into.
For new goods, Amazon.com.au, eBay Australia, Kogan and JB Hi-Fi are the usual starting points, while Woolworths and Coles publish grocery prices that change with weekly specials. Second-hand prices sit on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace, vehicles on carsales, property on realestate.com.au and Domain, and jobs on Seek. Prices on these sites include GST, and overseas items sold through Amazon.com.au and eBay also carry GST when they are worth A$1,000 or less.
The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024, passed in December 2024, amended the Privacy Act 1988. It created a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, added criminal offences for doxxing, added rules on disclosing automated decisions in privacy policies, and requires the OAIC to register a Children's Online Privacy Code by 10 December 2026. A broader second tranche followed as an exposure draft in August 2026.
