DCS stories - Karen Ellis making a difference

- I'm Karen Ellis. I'm a consumer protection officer. I work in New South Wales Fair Trading. Happily married, I have two grown-up children. Everyone's a customer and a lot of our roles revolve around customer service. The area that I concentrate on mainly is product safety, have done for many, many years, and that involves going out in the marketplace, looking for not only toys but other products, and those products have to comply with the standards. If they don't, then they're non-compliant with the Australian Consumer Law. I find that 99% of people, when you speak to them and treat them respectfully, you find the majority of them are very nice people and want to cooperate. The satisfaction I get out of my job's immense. I wouldn't be doing it for over 30 years if I didn't.
