The telco regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), has recently consulted on proposals to amend the Telecommunications (Listed Infringement Notice Provisions) Declaration 2022 (the IN Declaration). The IN Declaration allows the ACMA to issue infringement notices (fines) when telcos don’t follow certain rules.

In our submission ACCAN supported the ACMA’s proposal to include new provisions in the IN Declaration. This includes provisions from the Telecommunications Service Provider (Customer Identity Authentication) Determination 2022 and the Telecommunications Service Provider (International Mobile Roaming) Determination 2019. Including provisions from these Determinations will help give consumers confidence that their telcos are better incentivised to follow telecommunications rules.
