There are two main types of licensing requirements which are relevant to users of Wireless Lan equipment, these are:

• Radiocommunications licensing (under the Radiocommunications Act), which covers the use of radiocommunications equipment within the radiofrequency spectrum.
• Telecommunications licensing (under the Telecommunications Act), carrier licences authorise the use of network units for the supply of telecommunications services to the public.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is responsible for the regulation of broadcasting, radiocommunications, telecommunications and online content.
