Managing Unsolicited Religious Calls

If you receive a call from 04 6879 7500, you have several straightforward options. Religious organisations operating in Australia generally respect explicit requests not to be contacted, though individuals may not have access to centralised do-not-call lists in the same way commercial telemarketing does.

• Do: Clearly state you are not interested in further contact and ask to be removed from their calling list
• Do: Block the number in your phone settings if calls persist after your request
• Do: Hang up politely but firmly if you prefer not to engage
• Don't: Feel obligated to continue a conversation you didn't initiate
• Don't: Share personal information or agree to be added to contact lists
