Fax marketing compliance

When sending marketing or unsolicited faxes it is important to ensure you comply with the applicable legislation in the recipient’s destination country. Marketing faxes sent in Australia are governed by: 
  1. the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 and
  2. the Telecommunications (Fax Marketing) Industry Standard 2021
When sending any 'marketing' faxes, a minimum set of requirements for content and sending date/time must be met. View the Telecommunications (Fax Marketing) Industry Standard 2021 for full details.  
 
When sending unsolicited 'marketing' faxes to Australian fax numbers, you must check (or ‘wash’) your number lists against the Do Not Call Register (DNCR); further details are available on the Do Not Call Register - Industry Overview page.
 
A free ‘DNCR Washing' facility is available via GoFax, when selected, your fax list will be automatically ‘washed’ against the Australian Do Not Call Register. View details.
