Shops in Australia display fixed prices that include GST, and consumer law gives you the right to a repair, replacement or refund when goods are faulty, so keep the receipt. Larger stores post their returns policy at the counter; independent shops set their own terms, so ask before buying if you are unsure. Most retailers accept tap-to-pay, and many now charge a small card surcharge.

Opening hours are published for 2 days a week. On most of those days it is open 9 am–7 pm. Hours in Australia do change around public holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.
