Jasmine,
Overseas call centres are not exempt, in fact. See the following extract
from the Do Not Call website:
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) is responsible
for the register under the Do Not Call Register Act 2006. The Act covers
telemarketing calls and marketing faxes from within Australia and overseas.
The overseas call centres are usually representing Australian companies in
any case, so the Australian company can be prosecuted by the ACMA for repeat
offences.
Regards,
John.

I think a lot get around the DNC register by having offshore callcentres (i
think it's a grey area but since the calls are technically being made by a
co outside of Oz they are exempt. So are charities and market research
firms).

Interesting timing as last night I was at a meeting where the guest speakers
gave information on how LinkedIn (and Google and Facebook) harvest the
information we put on their websites to sell to businesses for more highly
targeted marketing. Good if you're a business.
Personally, I already get too much junk mail (and calls, despite being on
the 'do not call' register - though they invariably do backpedal quickly
when I raise that).
Cheers,
Terry
