Where to Report - NSW
Report nuisance numbers through both official channels and community platforms. Each independent submission adds weight - a number reported by ten people carries significantly more credibility than a single report.
- Scamwatch (ACCC) - National scam reporting
- ACMA - Telecommunications regulator
- NSW Fair Trading - New South Wales consumer protection (13 32 20)
- Reverseau - Submit a community report for any NSW number
Even if a number has already been reported, your submission still matters. Multiple reports from different people strengthen the classification and help other New South Wales residents identify it before they answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a nuisance call in New South Wales?
A nuisance call is disruptive without being fraudulent - repeated hang-ups, silent calls, aggressive sales, or persistent callbacks. In New South Wales, these often come from debt collectors, survey firms, or automated systems calling 02 numbers repeatedly.
How do I report nuisance calls in New South Wales?
Report to the ACMA (acma.gov.au) for telemarketing rule breaches, register on the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au), and submit a report on Reverseau to help other NSW residents identify the number.
Are nuisance calls illegal in Australia?
Some are. Exceeding silent call limits, calling DNCR-registered numbers without exemption, and continuing to call after being asked to stop can all breach Australian telecommunications law. The ACMA can issue infringement notices and fines. Persistent harassment may also be a state criminal matter.
This data comes from community reports within New South Wales and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
