ACMA primer on third-party authorisations

The rules and regs surrounding third-party authorisations sometimes cause confusion, so the ACMA has just published a blog entry to help make things clearer.

According to the ACMA, third-party authorisations are needed “when an apparatus licence holder authorises other persons to operate a radiocommunications device under their licence (section 114)”.

“We’re sometimes asked what a third-party authorisation should look like, but the short answer is that it’s really up to the apparatus licence holder providing the authorisation to the third party,” the blog says. “The Radiocommunications Act 1992 (the Act) doesn’t specify the format for the written authorisation, only that one is required…”
