C540:2023 Local Number Portability
The Local Number Portability (LNP) Code sets out inter-Carrier/CSP operational procedures for the implementation of Local Number Portability processes. The Code sets minimum acceptable practices (including Standard Hours of Operation, activation targets and timeframes) which do not unnecessarily limit industry’s ability to improve on the minimum level. Service metrics for Cat A and Cat C Ports, along with updated arrangements to Quarantine Disconnected Ported Telephone Numbers are part of the improvements included in the 2023 version of the Code.Related material

G520:2005 Local Number Portability - Network Plan
Defines the call handling and technical interconnection arrangements for local number portability, based on a model of interconnected networks. The model of interconnected networks is derived from AUSTEL's Interconnection Model of March 1995. The Plan also provides a description of the initial solutions being used for providing local number portability in Australia.
This Specification was reconfirmed in 2015 and 2020 and the next review is scheduled to occur in 2025.
