In Q1 2022, we undertook consultation to help us set our compliance focus for 2022–23. Informed by submissions to the consultation, we identified 7 areas for the 2022–23 ACMA compliance priority program.
To support the ACMA’s work to manage the risk of interference to radiocommunications spectrum, the 2022–23 program includes a focus on tackling the online supply of ‘dodgy’ devices.
We are seeing a rise in complaints about non-compliant radiocommunications devices advertised or bought online. We will be focusing on supplier compliance with equipment rules and educating Australians about the risks of buying these devices online.
We will also continue our program of EME measurements at 5G-enabled mobile base stations as part of our business-as-usual compliance program, and will be providing ongoing updates on the results of this work through the new online EME Checker.
