ACCAN wants the Government to improve telecommunications services for people with a disability by introducing a Disability Telecommunications Service (DTS), committing to functional equivalence in telecommunications, reaching out to new underserviced consumer communities and delivering a one-stop-shop for assistive technologies.

Thanks to the support of over 1000 organisations and individuals, Australians will soon be able to call essential services and small businesses on 13 and 1800 numbers for a fair price from a mobile phone.

ACCAN wants to hear about your experiences as the ACMA investigates the quality of customer service that telecommunications consumers receive.

In 2010, ACCAN campaigned for the National Disability Strategy (NDS) to focus on the communications needs for people with a disability.

The Do Not Call Register is a powerful consumer protection tool, allowing you to opt-out of tele and fax marketing. ACCAN wants the Do Not Call Register to work even harder in favour of consumers.

ACCAN, the Australian Financial Counselling and Credit Reform Association (AFCCRA), and CHOICE are campaigning to get rid of unfair charges incurred by consumers for simply paying their bills.
