Yes. If the Federal Court or Federal Magistrates Court finds that one or more civil penalty provisions under the Act has been breached, a person who has suffered loss or damage as a result of those contraventions may apply to the Court for an order to be compensated by the perpetrator of the contraventions. The application to the court can be made by that person or can be made on behalf of that person by ACMA.
