No. The ACMA recommends that you contact the supplier in Australia to confirm the compliance of the equipment with Australian standards. If the equipment is compliant, the supplier may apply the A-Tick mark along with their supplier identification. Only telecommunications products that carry the A-Tick mark should be connected to a telecommunications network in Australia. It is illegal to connect equipment that does not carry the A-Tick label and penalties can be imposed. If you connect equipment that is not labelled with the A-Tick mark to an Australian telecommunications network, and this equipment causes damage to the network, the Australian carrier may also seek financial compensation from you.
