Check a telemarketing call against the Do Not Call Register
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the number and the call the lawyer supplies, apply the ACMA Do Not Call Register page. A home phone number, a personal mobile number, or a fax number can be added. A business number cannot. A number used for both business and personal use can be registered if personal use is more than 50 per cent of total use. After the number has been on the register for 30 days, a telemarketer can call only if the person has given consent or the call is exempt. The page of exempt call types was not opened. The tool does not name an exemption. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. The register does not block calls. It lets a business check its calling list and remove registered numbers before calling. Registration is at donotcall.gov.au or on 1300 792 958. This check is about telemarketing calls to numbers on the register. It is not the check of a commercial electronic message for consent, identity and unsubscribe.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether consent exists, whether it has been withdrawn, and whether any exemption applies. The exemption page was not opened.

Checklist
- Allow a home phone, personal mobile or fax, and a mixed-use number only where personal use is more than half. Do not add a business number.
- After 30 days on the register, require consent or an exemption, and record a withdrawal of consent.
- Do not name an exemption. That page was not opened. Do not treat this as the commercial-electronic-message check.
