About the Training

Communications Alliance is undertaking a series of one day training courses to help equip telecommunications service providers with the tools they will need to comply with the revised and strengthened TCP Code – scheduled to come into force in mid-2012.

Regulators and the Minister have made it clear that all Carriage Service Providers will need to comply with the Code.


The Communications Alliance training program will enable service providers to understand their compliance obligations and the steps they need to take to fulfil these – including what they will need to do to interact with the new compliance monitoring body, Communications Compliance. The training will be undertaken by seasoned industry experts and will leave service providers with a suite of compliance tools.

Who should attend: Representatives from carriage service providers, internet service providers and content service providers.

Cost: AUD $650+GST
