Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop spam calls in Victoria?
Register on the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au), turn on your carrier's call-blocking, and don't engage with automated calls. Reporting on Reverseau helps other VIC residents spot repeat offenders.
Why do I get spam calls from VIC numbers?
Many spam operators use VoIP to display local VIC numbers as caller ID, even when calling from elsewhere. This makes spam hard to distinguish from real local calls.
Are 1300/1800 spam calls legal?
Some 1300/1800 telemarketing is legitimate, but calls to DNCR-registered numbers are prohibited. Charities, political parties, and research organisations are exempt though. Report persistent unwanted calls through official channels.
Why am I receiving spam calls from Victoria landline numbers?
Spam operators use local 03 numbers because people are more likely to answer a familiar area code. These can be VoIP numbers or bought in bulk. Registering on the DNCR and reporting on Reverseau helps.
This data comes from community reports within Victoria and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
