- ACMA - Telecommunications regulator
- Consumer Protection WA - Western Australia consumer protection (1300 30 40 54)

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a nuisance call in Western Australia?
A nuisance call is disruptive without being fraudulent - repeated hang-ups, silent calls, aggressive sales, or persistent callbacks. In Western Australia, these often come from debt collectors, survey firms, or automated systems calling 08 numbers repeatedly.
How do I report nuisance calls in Western Australia?
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 WA 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 Western Australia and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
