Allowing the telemarketing industry to self-regulate the Do Not Call Register and identifying more ways to reduce industry red tape are among recommendations for transforming the media and internet regulator.

While the Australian Communications and Media authority has performed its regulatory role "efficiently and well over the last 10 years", the Department of Communications' review found its governance should be restructured to include five full-time members, including a deputy chair as chief executive, rather than two part-time members and a chair and deputy.

The ACMA has not had a permanent chair since Chris Chapman left in 2016, with Richard Bean acting as chair for the past 15 months.

The review was commissioned in mid-2015 by Malcolm Turnbull when he was communications minister. Current Communications Minister Mitch Fifield said the government supports all 27 recommendations.
