Do Not Call Register - Eligibility requirements for registration on the Do Not Call Register

The Do Not Call Register (the Register) was established in May 2007 and enables Australians to opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial marketing (telemarketing) calls by listing fixed line and mobile telephone numbers used primarily for private or domestic purposes.

Discussion Paper

At present, telephone numbers not used primarily for private or domestic purposes and all numbers used exclusively to send or receive faxes, may not be listed on the Register. This effectively excludes businesses and other entities from being able to take advantage of the protections provided by the Register.

A Departmental discussion paper was released on 15 August 2008 seeking community views on potential changes to what numbers should be eligible to be listed on the Register.
