🚨 Important SMS Changes Coming December 2025 🚨

From 15 December 2025, new government regulations will change how business SMS messages are sent in Australia.

If your business uses an alphanumeric sender ID (like your business name), you’ll need to register it with the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) through the new SMS Sender ID Register to keep using it.

👉 What this means for you

🔹 Option 1: Keep using your sender ID — but you must register and have it approved by ACMA. Registration opens 30 November 2025, and you’ll need:
- Your ABN and business name
- An authorised contact person
- Proof your sender ID matches your business name, trademark, or domain

🔹 Option 2: Switch to a dedicated mobile number — no registration required. This option gives reliable delivery, allows clients to save your number, and instantly recognise your messages.

⏳ Act before 15 December 2025 or your messages may be flagged as “Unverified” or treated as spam.

Start preparing your details now to stay compliant and maintain client trust. ✅

Bankruptcy and Claw-Back

You had no idea that your spouse is in financial trouble and cannot pay his or her debts. In desperation, your spouse decides to file for bankruptcy. What is bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a legal process which a person can apply for if he or she is unable to pay outstanding debts. This will release a person from the liability to pay debts to unsecured creditors.

Your spouse transfers the family home to your sole name some months before he or she declared bankruptcy. Your spouse did not know that the trustee in bankruptcy can investigate assets that your spouse owned previously prior to his bankruptcy, and that the trustee has the power to reverse the transfer and claw back the proceeds. The trustee has now written to you to claim the house that was transferred to your sole name. Understandably, you are terrified that you will lose your home. It is time to seek advice.

At PLL Partners, we have helped a number of clients in this situation or other similar circumstances. Please contact us today to arrange for a consultation.
