Do Not Call Register (Australia)
Australia's national telemarketing opt-out list, run by ACMA, that registered numbers can use to block most unsolicited sales calls.
Full definition
The Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) is Australia's national opt-out list for telemarketing and marketing faxes, administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Once you register your home or mobile number, most telemarketers are prohibited from calling it, and registration does not expire. It is the first practical step Australians take against unsolicited sales calls and complements the Privacy Act's APP 7 direct-marketing opt-out, which any organisation must honour on request.
