Organizational changes to the ACA

The Australian Communications Authority (ACA) is in the process of relocating radio communications apparatus licencsing, frequency assigning and customer enquiries
services from Regional Offices to its Central Office in Canberra.

This is in response to ongoing changes in licensing arrangements over many years (for example, increased use of class and system licensing) and it will enable the ACA to continue to improve service delivery and to respond to new challenges.

A new team called the National Licensing and Enquiries Center (NLEC) has been established to take up this work.
All licensing, frequency assigning and customer enquiries
services performed in the Regional Office's will transfer to NLEC by the end of July 2005.

In addition, the ACA will merge with the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) on 1 July 2005 to create the new Australian Communications and Media Authority ACMA).

THE CREATION OF NLEC AND ACMA WILL NOT AFFECT THE STATUS OF YOUR LICENSE.

License fee payments to the ACA may continue to be made by mail, credit card or BPAY as per the instructions on license renewal notices. If you have questions about the
centralization of services, please contact NLEC@aca.gov.au or 1300 850 115.
