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

The amended Do Not Call Register Act 2006 will affect Australians in three key ways:

• the registration period for numbers is extended from three to five years
• in addition to numbers used for private or domestic purposes, government bodies and emergency services can register their numbers
• fax numbers can also be registered

In summary, a number is eligible to be registered if it is:

• used or maintained primarily for domestic purposes, or
• used or maintained exclusively for transmitting and/or receiving faxes, or 
• used or maintained exclusively for use by a government body, or 
• an emergency services number

Further information regarding the implementation of the extended register is available from www.donotcall.gov.au
