Which numbers can I list on the Do Not Call Register?

You can list your Australian fixed line and mobile numbers on the Do Not Call Register, provided the numbers are used primarily for private or domestic purposes.

How does the register work?

Under the Do Not Call Register Act 2006, telemarketers can check their calling lists against the Do Not Call Register. If a telemarketer calls a number on the Do Not Call Register, they may be in breach of the Act, and may face penalties.

Will it stop all telemarketing calls?

Registering your telephone number on the Do Not Call Register will not stop all telemarketing calls to your number.
Some organisations operating in the public interest are exempt from prohibition on making telemarketing calls. You can also still receive calls from market researchers.

Have I consented to receive calls?

A business can still call you if it has your inferred consent. You may also receive business calls if consent is inferred because you have an existing relationship with a business. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

When will calls start to reduce?

From the time you register your number, it may take up to 30 days for individual telemarketing agencies to recognise your registration, and stop calling to your number.

Why has the Do Not Call Register been set up?

The Do Not Call Register has been set up in response to increasing community concern about the growth in unsolicited telemarketing calls.
