- to ensure the operational effectiveness of the Determination;
- to ensure that significant obligations of Carriers and CSPs, in relation to the ECS, are clearly documented and understood;
- to promote public understanding and appropriate use of the ECS (e.g. via www.triplezero.gov.au); and
- to ensure effective communications of information between relevant parties where technical issues affect the operation of the ECS.
