What days and times am I allowed to make telemarketing or research calls?
A national industry standard for telemarketing and research calls applies to calling hours and days. From 31 May 2007: • telemarketing calls can be made on weekdays between 9.00 am and 8.00 pm • research calls can be made on weekdays between 9.00 am and 8.30 pm • a telemarketing or research call can be made on a Saturday between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm • research calls can be made on a Sunday between 9.00 am to 5.00pm but not on a nationally recognised public holiday • telemarketing calls can not be made on a Sunday or a nationally recognised public holiday. When an Australian state or territory has stricter calling hours and days set out by the national standard, than the state or territory’s stricter calling hours apply.
