Different Type Of Junk Mail

Junk mail generally falls into two categories: electronic and physical.

Electronic junk mail, such as spam emails, texts, and instant messages, is already regulated in Australia under the Spam Act 2003, which sets rules for how digital marketing can be sent and gives consumers protections and opt-out rights.

Physical junk mail, however, including unaddressed advertising material delivered to letterboxes, is not covered by the same legislation.

Our campaign focuses specifically on this gap, advocating for stronger protections and clearer rules around physical junk mail to give households greater control over what is delivered to their homes.
