The ACMA is pleased to announce the three-year appointment of eight members to its Consumer Consultative Forum (CCF), an advisory group focused on consumer issues in the telco space.
The ACMA welcomes three new members to the forum, family violence services peak body Safe and Equal (VIC), Associate Professor Lyndon Ormond-Parker, co-chair of the First Nations Digital Inclusion Advisory Group, and the Country Women’s Association of NSW, representing the Regional, Rural and Remote Communications Coalition.
Existing members, the Consumer Action Law Centre, the Consumer Policy Research Centre, Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association, the NSW Business Chamber and the Western Community Legal Centre have all been reappointed.
The appointments were made following a call for expressions of interest in July 2024.
These parties will join ongoing members, the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network, to form the 10-member forum.
The CCF plays an important role in advising the ACMA on a range of policy and regulatory issues, offering varying consumer perspectives on issues affecting telco consumers.
The ACMA looks forward to working with the newly comprised CCF and thanks outgoing member, the South Australian Council of Social Services, for its service.
