Compliance with the SPAM Act 2003

All email messages sent from University email accounts must comply with the Spam Act 2003 (available at http://www.comlaw.gov.au).  This means that commercial electronic messages should not be sent except to email lists or groups that have been established specifically for the purpose of buying or selling goods or services.

Commercial electronic messages i.e. those which include solicitation to buy or sell goods or services, may only be sent from University email accounts if:

• the consent of the recipient can be construed, a functional unsubscribe facility allows the recipient to withdraw their consent at any time, and any requests to unsubscribe are actioned within 5 days; or
• the message relates to goods or services supplied by the University of Adelaide and is sent to current or former students, or members of current or former students' households.

All commercial electronic messages sent must include accurate and up to date contact details. Staff, titleholders and visitors who use the preferred email signature fulfil this requirement. Students sending commercial electronic messages from University accounts must provide similar information.

SPAM can be reported by staff or students to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) by any of the methods listed at:
