About this course

In 2003, Australia introduced legislation in response to concerns about the impact of spam on the effectiveness of electronic communication and the costs imposed on end-users.

The Spam Act 2003 prohibits the sending of spam, which is identified as a commercial electronic message sent without the consent of the addressee via email, short message service (SMS), multimedia message service (MMS) or instant messaging.

Safetrac’s ‘Spam Act’ course provides practical information to businesses that need and wish to send their customers and suppliers electronic messages. It explains the main requirements of the Spam Act 2003 and outlines the business practices that comply with the legislation.
