Australia has a 'National Do Not Call Registry' to curb the growing amount telemarketing telephone calls that Australians receive. Legislation was passed in the Parliament of Australia on June 30, 2006 enacting the Do Not Call Register Act 2006. The Australian Communications and Media Authority is responsible for establishing and overseeing the register and has appointed Service Stream Solutions Pty Ltd to operate the Do Not Call Register.
The Do Not Call Register and the Industry Standard commenced on May 1st, 2007. On the first day it was inundated with traffic and apparently 'crashed' under the load.
The register has attracted some criticism for not attempting to curb unsolicited calls from charities and political parties.
The register has also attracted some criticism for not attempting to curb unsolicited fax calls from any party.
