As an industry leader we recognise the importance of being at the forefront of industry and technological developments, consequently, we are active members of a number of influential industry associations and the markets they represent.
The Australian Telecommunications User Group Limited is a not-for-profit membership-based organisation of Australian telecommunications users and has been working for better choice, value and services in the sector since 1981.
ATUG's initial goal was achieved by the de-regulation of the telecommunications industry in 1997, when the new policy framework of open competition brought significant benefits to end-users.
Since then, ATUG's mission has been to continue to represent the interests of users through ongoing debate on the effectiveness of telecommunications policies and to lobby hard for further change.
Communications Alliance was formed in 2006 to provide a unified voice for the Australian communications industry and to lead it into the next generation of converging networks, technologies and services. Communications Alliance was formed by merger of the Service Providers Association Inc (SPAN) and Australian Communication Industry Forum (ACIF).
In pursuing its goals, Communications Alliance offers a forum for the industry to make coherent and constructive contributions to policy develoment and debate.
By providing leadership on new trends and directions, Communications Alliance fulfils a vital unifying role on behalf of the industry and its members, particularly in areas of competition, innovation and industry development.
