Coordinated Government Responses to Industry and Industry Associations
Finance works with a number of industry associations to improve understanding between carriers and customers. This involvement helps to ensure the Australian Government's expectations, as a major customer for telecommunications, are met.
As a major customer of telecommunications carriers, Finance regularly provides input to the ACMA [
] and ACCC [] on telecommunications issues. Finance is a member of ATUG [], and is an active participant in industry forums.
