The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has tabled its annual report, which includes references to its activities for radiocommunications services.
https://www.acma.gov.au/theACMA/annual-report
The ACMA has a network of fixed, transportable and mobile monitoring for the entire spectrum. It also has a compliance laboratory that carries out testing of radiocommunications devices to support industry to meet standards compliance and product labelling.
There had been a steady decline in radiocommunication interference complaints, down to 486 in 2016-17 BUT STILL nearly 300 enforcement actions were taken.
Interference to domestic free-to-air broadcast television and radio services are treated separately, and again have declined.
The ACMAs strategy includes educating TV viewers about reliable reception needing an optimised antenna.
