Information to check before emailing the ACCC and new FAQs

Important Information Before Submitting Email Notifications

Until the acquisitions portal launches, the ACCC receives notifications and pre-notification engagement requests via email. A critical limitation exists: emails and attachments must remain under 25MB.

For oversized submissions, advance arrangements are necessary:

• Email: notify-an-acquisition@accc.gov.au
• Phone: (02) 6243 1368

Note: Your email provider may impose separate size restrictions, and failed delivery may not be reported.

If no response arrives within 24 hours, contact mergers@accc.gov.au without attachments or call (02) 6243 1368.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ACCC released an updated FAQ document addressing:

• Classification of matters from informal review or waiver processes as "notified acquisitions" under the new regime
• Previous acquisitions within three-year periods relevant to cumulative effects analysis and monetary thresholds

These FAQs remain subject to periodic updates during the transition period and reflect current ACCC positions only.
