The Petition

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.

Add Your Name. Make It Law.

South Australians are clear: “No Junk Mail” means no junk mail.
Yet without legislation, organisations can ignore these signs with no consequences.

By signing this petition, you are calling on the South Australian Government to:

Introduce legislation prohibiting the delivery of advertising material to letterboxes displaying “No Junk Mail”
Treat unwanted junk mail as avoidable waste
Align South Australia with Queensland’s waste-prevention approach
Reduce environmental harm caused by unnecessary printing and distribution

Every signature strengthens the case for change.
