Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation that brings Part 2 of the Do Not Call Register Act into force on 31 May 2007.

What it does:

Sets the commencement date (when the law starts working) for Part 2 of the Act
Part 2 contains the main operational rules for the Do Not Call Register — a list that lets Australians opt out of receiving telemarketing calls

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, Part 2 of the Act would not be legally active, meaning the register couldn't operate. This document essentially 'switches on' the legal framework that protects people from unwanted telemarketing calls.

Key details:

Signed by Governor-General Philip Michael Jeffery on 26 April 2007
Made under section 2 of the Do Not Call Register Act 2006
Gives about one month's notice before the rules take effect
