What is the IPND?
The Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) is an industry-wide repository of key information about Australian phone services – primarily number, name and address. IPND data is used for the following: • Emergency Services (for example, when you dial 000); • Directory Publishers; • Location Dependent Services (for example, so you can dial for pizza, and be connected to your local store). The provision of accurate IPND data is a mandated requirement of carriers under the Telecommunications Act, and access to the data is strictly regulated.
