About the telco data

Large and medium-sized telcos with 30,000 or more services send us data about the complaints they receive. We collect this data under the Telecommunications (Consumer Complaints) Record-Keeping Rules 2018.

The data includes:

  • details of certain complaint types
  • the NBN access technology the customer is using
  • the time taken to resolve complaints.

Due to legal restrictions, we generally cannot publish telco names or information that would identify them. However, the data helps us to decide if there are areas of telcos’ complaints-handling performance that we need to look at more closely.

It also provides transparency to industry, consumers, and government.

We may update historical data if corrections are made by providers or the ACMA after its release.

Data quality

We check the data before publication, with any issues taken up with telcos.
