Legislation

The Department is responsible for administering a range of legislation in the current competitive telecommunications environment.

Here you will find links to:

• key Acts and Regulations; and
• licence conditions, determinations and other legislative instruments made by the Minister (including some explanatory memoranda).

The "Other legislative instruments" page provides links to numerous telecommunications instruments and explanatory statements, including consolidated versions of instruments which have been subsequently amended. Links to the original and amending instruments, and relevant explanatory material, are available on the "Archive" page.

A range of legislative instruments made by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) are available at www.acma.gov.au.
