Australia AI Regulation for Sales Agents 2026: No AI Act

Australia has no AI Act. A title search of the Federal Register of Legislation for "Artificial Intelligence" on 2 September 2026 returns two instruments, both grant-programme funding rules, and no regulatory statute. An outbound AI sales agent is instead governed by the Do Not Call Register Act 2006, the Spam Act 2003, the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Consumer Law.

What this covers

  • The Do Not Call Register Act 2006 already names synthetic voice
  • The Telemarketing Standard 2017 has a synthetic-voice rule of its own
  • Spam Act 2003 covers the SMS and email legs, not the call
  • Privacy Act 1988, the OAIC and the 10 December 2026 ADM obligation
  • Australian Consumer Law, and call recording under state law

This is a technical summary. The full guide — with the tables and worked examples — is on our site: *Australia AI Regulation for Sales Agents 2026: No AI Act*.

Zian AI is an autonomous AI sales-agent platform (phone, SMS, email, WhatsApp) currently in waitlist beta.
