The ACMA welcomes today’s announcement from Communications Alliance (CA) that it has opened a consultation on its revised draft of the Telecommunications Consumer Protections Industry Code (TCP Code). The TCP Code, which sets out rules for how telcos interact with their residential and small business mobile, landline and internet customers, is an important part of Australia’s broader telecommunications consumer protection framework. Following extensive engagement between CA and the ACMA, the ACMA recently provided feedback to CA on the revisions to the draft TCP Code and advised that it should progress to public consultation. Submissions to CA are welcome by 28 February. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g9ASdT4m

Public consultation documents on the revised draft TCP Code are available here: https://lnkd.in/grE3uQA Feedback is due by 28 February 2025.
Communications Alliance has commenced public consultation on the strongest-ever set of consumer protections in the latest draft of the Telecommunications Consumer Protections (TCP) Code. Australians expect the highest standard of business behaviour from telcos - and this strengthened Code will ensure they are held to account by the regulator. In addition, Comms Alliance has called on both major parties to support legislative reform enabling ACMA to take immediate enforcement action for contraventions of consumer protections Codes. Under existing legislation, the ACMA must first direct a telco to comply with a code before it takes enforcement action – these reforms would bypass that step. Comms Alliance calls for these amendments to be introduced in the next term of Parliament, to complement the enhanced consumer safeguards included in the updated draft TCP Code. Submissions are due by February 28. Feedback from the consultation process will be taken into consideration for further refinements, with the updated draft Code to then be submitted to the ACMA for its consideration. https://lnkd.in/gaaD8kqZ

Australia led the world on 2001 with a system to quickly and easily port your mobile number from one telco to another. And 23 years later, we continue to refine and improve this process - meaning a better experience for consumers who can seamlessly change providers within minutes. The strongest consumer protection ever conceived is competition. Mobile Number Portability is just one example of how co-regulation enables industry to work collaboratively on a complex technical and regulatory process, and deliver the best outcomes for consumers. A big thank you to the hardworking volunteers across the industry who contributed to the three revised Codes registered with the ACMA. https://lnkd.in/gvmpwk-6
