Regulatory basis

The protections on this page are maintained in accordance with the Telecommunications (Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Consumer Protections) Industry Standard 2025, administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). The Standard sets minimum enforceable obligations for all Australian telecommunications providers, including requirements around service continuity, privacy, and not requiring affected customers to interact with a perpetrator.

Additional guidance is drawn from Communications Alliance Industry Guideline G660:2023 — Assisting Consumers Affected by Domestic and Family Violence, which covers privacy and safety, economic abuse (including financial surveillance via shared billing), technology-facilitated abuse, and staff engagement with affected customers.
