Do Not Call Register (Australia)

Australia's national telemarketing opt-out list, run by ACMA, for covered sales calls and marketing faxes to registered numbers.

Full definition

The Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) is Australia's national opt-out list for covered telemarketing calls and marketing faxes, administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Registration can reduce covered calls, but exemptions, consent, business relationships, caller duties, and the current Register rules matter. It complements the Privacy Act's APP 7 direct-marketing opt-out, which has its own scope and conditions.
