Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a short official declaration by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) about how phone numbers are managed in Australia.

What it does: ACMA declares that a specific rule change to the Telecommunications Numbering Plan — called 'Variation 2006 (No. 2)' — is a minor variation under the Telecommunications Act 1997.

Why this matters: Telecommunications law treats changes to the numbering plan (the system governing how phone numbers are allocated to carriers and customers) differently depending on whether they are 'minor' or significant. Minor variations follow a faster approval process with fewer consultation requirements than major changes.

Who it affects: Primarily telecommunications companies (carriers and service providers) who must comply with numbering rules. Ultimately, this affects anyone with an Australian phone number, as it governs how numbers are assigned and managed.
