‘Consumers face a range of issues when it comes to navigating the communications landscape,’ said Ms Cameron. ‘These new appointments will help industry and government better understand community needs.’

The CCF plays an important role in assisting the ACMA to achieve a regulatory framework that anticipates change through monitoring our environment and influencing regulatory responses.
