A financial services company has paid a $34,000 infringement notice after telemarketing calls were made in breach of the Do Not Call Register Act.
An Australian Communications and Media Authority investigation found that Premium Finance Services Pty Ltd engaged a call centre to make telemarketing calls on its behalf, and calls were made to numbers on the Do Not Call Register.
The Do Not Call Register Act applies to those who engage others to make calls for them as well as those who actually make the calls.
