The businesses it reaches
The Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth) governs businesses that make unsolicited telemarketing calls or send marketing messages to Australian telephone numbers. It reaches employers whose staff make calls, online sellers who contact customers by phone, service providers that outsource calling campaigns, and any organisation that engages a lead generator or call centre on its behalf. The Act sets out prohibitions on contacting registered numbers and the evidential burden that applies when a business claims an exception.
The toolkit is a set of two working files that organise this one instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. The first working file covers the prohibition on making unsolicited calls and the related offences. The second working file covers the evidential burden and the remaining provisions of the Act.
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude; nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Questions and answers
Which businesses does the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 apply to?
The Act applies to any business that makes unsolicited telemarketing calls or sends marketing messages to Australian telephone numbers. This includes employers whose staff make calls, online sellers who contact customers by phone, and service providers that run calling campaigns for others. A business that engages a call centre or lead generator also falls within the Act's reach.
What does the first working file cover?
The first working file covers the prohibition on making unsolicited calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Register and the related offences. It organises the statutory duties into open questions a business answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty.
What does the second working file cover?
The second working file covers the evidential burden that applies when a business claims an exception to the prohibition. It also covers the remaining provisions of the Act. The file sets out open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text beside each duty.
How are the sections delivered?
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The business answers the open questions from its own records within that environment.
What documents does the business receive?
The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps these reports in its own file. Each report records the answers the business gave to the open questions.
Does the toolkit tell a business whether a call is permitted?
The toolkit carries what the authority wrote, organised into open questions. It never gives advice and never presents a perspective. A business answers the questions from its own records and keeps the dated compliance report.
What is the evidential burden under the Act?
The evidential burden concerns what a business must show when it claims an exception to the prohibition on unsolicited calls. The second working file organises the relevant duties into open questions. The business answers from its own records, and the statutory text sits beside each duty.
Can the toolkit be used by a business that outsources its calling?
The Act reaches businesses that engage call centres or lead generators, and the toolkit organises the obligations that apply. The business answers the open questions from its own records, including records of the arrangements it has with those providers. The dated compliance report is kept in the business's own file.
How does the toolkit handle the statutory text?
The toolkit carries the law's words exactly as the authority wrote them, placed beside each duty. The open questions direct the business to its own records. The answers and the statutory text together form the dated compliance report.
What does a business need before starting?
A business needs access to Claude and its own records of calling activity, marketing messages, and any arrangements with call centres or lead generators. The connector serves the sections inside Claude. The business then answers the open questions and keeps the dated compliance report in its own file.
