Part 2: Rules for sending commercial electronic messages – Australia Spam Act 2003

Australia Spam Act 2003 s17: s 17(1) Identify the authoriser and give accurate contact details valid for 30 days

No one may send, or have sent, a commercial electronic message with an Australian link unless the message names clearly and accurately the individual or organisation that authorised its sending, gives accurate details through which the recipient can easily reach that sender, meets any conditions set by regulation (the Spam Regulations 2021 set none for this section), and those details are reasonably likely to keep working for 30 days or more after the send. This rule applies to designated commercial electronic messages as well. The Australian link and mistake exceptions apply with the evidential burden on the sender. Civil penalty provision (lower tier).

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 4 controls across 3 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • ePD-Art.13 Unsolicited communications (Article 13)
  • Reg.23 Regulation 23: Marketing emails must not conceal the sender and must carry a valid opt-out address

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
