What it is
Australia’s regulator publishes its numbering register through the Numbering System: every range of the ten-digit plan with its status and current holder, and the freephone and local-rate numbers one by one.

Counts only. Holders are counted, never named, and no row of the table is republished here: the publisher’s own files are linked below. A version marked “retrieved on” is the day the file was fetched, because the file itself carries no date.
How the rows read, and what a number outside them answers
Allocated ranges read as allocated to their holder; spare ranges as unassigned. Only ten-digit local, mobile, satellite, IoT, data and VPN ranges are read.
ACMA’s table is not treated as complete: a number outside every listed block is not evaluated, and its block_status answers null.

The terms, as the publisher states them
The Numbering System’s terms and conditions page is a JavaScript application that could not be read, so the terms of the register download are not confirmed.

What the table cannot say
- A regulator’s table records the original allocation of each block, never who serves a number today: a number ported to another carrier keeps its block.
- An allocated block says a number in it can be in service, not that it is.
- The counts are rows of the regulator’s own table, not numbers or traffic: a busy block and an empty one count once each.
- Freephone and local-rate numbers (1800, 1300 and 13), which the register lists one by one, are not read; the numbering plan types them.
- The table is not treated as complete, so an Australian number outside it is not evaluated.
