The ACMA’s enforceable undertakings

The ACMA may accept an enforceable undertaking under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, Telecommunications Act 1997, Spam Act 2003 and Radiocommunications Act 1992. This page contains the undertakings that the ACMA has accepted and published under these Acts (see below).

Publication of undertakings

Unless exceptional circumstances are accepted by the ACMA as applying, the ACMA will publish enforceable undertakings on its internet site (see below). For example, the ACMA may consider a request by the undertaking party that matters that are commercial-in-confidence or that disclosure of personal details of an individual not be published. The ACMA may also consider whether disclosure is against the public interest.

Enforcement of undertakings

If a person has given an undertaking, and that undertaking has not been withdrawn or cancelled, and the ACMA considers that the person has breached the undertaking, the ACMA may apply to the Federal Court for, among other things, an order for the person to comply with the undertaking and/or to pay the Commonwealth any amount of financial benefit they have obtained that is directly or indirectly attributable to the breach.
