Remaking the Telecommunications (Infringement Notices) Guidelines 2011 - consultation 42/2021

We received 1 submission to this consultation, which is available below. On 3 March 2022, following consideration of the submission, the ACMA made the Telecommunications (Infringement Notices) Guidelines 2022.

We are consulting on remaking the Telecommunications (Infringement Notices) Guidelines 2011, as they are due to sunset on 1 April 2022.

The guidelines are used by authorised infringement notice officers, and are intended to assist both the telecommunications industry and the community to understand the ACMA’s approach to its infringement notice powers under the Telecommunications Act.

We propose to remake the guidelines with only minor and technical amendments.

Access the draft Telecommunications (Infringement Notices) Guidelines 2022, with proposed changes highlighted, in the ‘Key documents’ box above.

We welcome comments from interested stakeholders on any of the issues raised in the consultation paper. We specifically invite comments on:

1. Are the guidelines operating effectively and efficiently?
2. Should the guidelines be amended as proposed?
3. Are there any other changes that should be made to the guidelines?
