What kind of warranty comes with a used car from a dealer in Victoria?

What's the go with customer’s warranty when buying second hand from a dealer? They have told me I can only get my car serviced by them for warranty to stand. I was under the impression that you could get your car serviced anywhere.

Used car dealers in Victorian are required to provide a statutory warranty if the car is less than 10 years old and has travelled less than 160,000 km. It lasts for three months or 5000 km, which ever occurs first. You can have your car serviced anywhere you choose in that period.
