New rules to keep us connected
|
|
|
People struggling to pay their phone or internet bills will be better supported by new rules that focus on keeping them connected.
From 29 March 2024, under the new Financial Hardship Standard, phone and internet providers (telcos) must:
- proactively identify people who may be experiencing financial hardship
- display their financial assistance policy prominently on their website or app
- offer customers at least 6 different options for assistance, including payment plans and the option to extend or defer payments
- focus on keeping the customer connected.
ACMA have a range of resources to let people know about these new protections, with more available soon for First Nations communities. Visit the website for the resources or, here for assistance if you can’t pay your phone or
internet bill.
ACMA are looking for ideas or suggestions on how to get this valuable information out to as many communities as possible. Some ideas may be providing pre-recorded radio spots, or an on-air announcer mentioning the initiative or providing hard copy assets like posters or postcards that tell people where to get information. We are also looking for advice and/or help in updating our social media creatives to make them more relevant to First Nations communities. If you have ideas or feedback, we’d love to hear from you! For more information, contact Kathleen Stevens from ACMA.
