Compliance and enforcement priorities 2026–27

Each year, we target key areas for improved industry compliance. These are known as our annual compliance and enforcement priorities.

We have included areas of significant public interest or issues having a negative impact on the community. We have also included areas where we can encourage compliant behaviour and potentially increase consumer confidence. Setting priorities guides our efforts to deliver effective compliance and, where necessary, targeted enforcement action.

As we refresh our compliance and enforcement priorities, we’d like to hear what you think the ACMA’s focus should be for the 2026–27 financial year.   

We are particularly interested in your views about new issues of public interest or those causing consumer harm. 

Please let us know your views on any of the questions set out in the attached consultation paper. 

We also welcome your feedback on whether we should extend any of our current compliance and enforcement priority areas for a further year – and if so, why? 

Use the 'Upload submission' button at the top of the screen to give us your opinions before 5 pm (AEDT) on Friday 20 March 2026. 

You can send any consultation enquiries to haveyoursay@acma.gov.au.
