The ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) ensures that the Telecommunications (Telemarketing and Research Calls) Industry Standard provides safeguards to enable Australians to manage unwanted telemarketing. These include identification requirements, restrictions on permissible calling hours, and enforcement of compliance with the Do Not Call Register.

In addition to listing yourself on the Do Not Call register, you should take advantage of any call blocking features that may be available on your handset to block persistent callers. The manufacturer’s guide will explain how you can activate this feature, or you can use Google to find instructions online for many common handsets. If your handset does not include this feature, consider replacing it with one that does.
