Australia: Carrier and Provider Duties
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Your company carries calls and data in Australia, or holds customer records here. Agencies will ask for them. This unit sets out what Commonwealth law requires of you, what it only permits, and what it forbids.
Focus: start from the ban. Then find the exact gate that opens it. Each kind of data has its own gate.
This unit covers Commonwealth law only. State and Territory laws add their own powers. We read the Acts on 8 October 2026. Read the current text before you rely on a section.
