TCP Code 2019

Wednesday 03 July 2019 Sydney and Melbourne

Hosted by

Background:

This Communications Alliance Comms Essentials seminar will present an overview of the important new revisions to the Telecommunications Consumer Protections (TCP) Code.

The TCP Code was revised by an independently chaired Communications Alliance working committee consisting of representatives from industry, consumers, government, and regulators in an 18-month project. It was then submitted to the ACMA for registration by Communications Alliance. The ACMA is considering registration, following which RSPs will have one month to become compliant with the new Code.

The revised TCP Code will be published upon registration, prior to the Comms Essentials.

This seminar will provide an overview of key revisions to the Code and information on associated compliance and enforcement activities, including presentations from the ACMA and Communications Compliance. It will address key themes of consumer protection, and we will also invite questions and discussion.

Communications Alliance will also host, at a later date, a longer webinar to delve into the detailed changes and offer an opportunity to address specific questions from RSPs.

Please note: We will confirm this event with all registered guests – or notify them of cancellation if needed – on Friday 28 June, as it is dependent upon the registration of the Code by the ACMA.

Event attendance:

Communications Alliance members, all Retail Service Providers bound by the Code, and other stakeholders.

Please note: While Comms Essentials are typically offered only to Communications Alliance members, this event will be open to all interested parties.

Assistance and Access Act 2018 (Encryption Bill) Forum

Wednesday 06 February 2019 Sydney

Hosted by

Background:

On 6 December 2018, the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendments (Assistance and Access) Act 2018 was passed in both Houses of Parliament after Labor had withdrawn a number of suggested amendments in return for Government’s promise to review the Act and consider the amendments in the New Year. The PJCIS is currently reviewing the legislation and is tasked to produce a report by 4 April 2019.

A collective of Industry Groups, including Communications Alliance, the Australian Industry Group(Ai Group), the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA), the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association, Digital Industry Group Inc (DIGI) and the Information Technology Professionals Association (ITPA) has recently made a submission to the PJCIS, recommending a raft of changes, drawing on the expertise of its members and recommending incorporation of the most useful aspects of the Labor amendments.

This Forum will provide an overview over the recommended changes to the legislation followed by observations from an expert panel, Q & A and discussion.

Event attendance:

• Members of the organisations comprising the Alliance for a Safe and Secure Internet
• News media representatives
• Baker McKenzie clients
• Selected other stakeholders
