A quote from ACMA
"According to ACMA research conducted in 2011, 88 per cent of people with registered numbers on the Do Not Call Register (DNCR), reported a significant reduction in unsolicited telemarketing calls."
They should supply the stats to show how many people on the register received "NO" unsolicited calls.
And when the telemarketers are caught out, what happens?
They get a "formal warning".
I actually find this funny, from the Do Not Call site  
Salmat Digital has been awarded the contract to operate the Do Not Call Register on behalf of the Australia Communications and Media Authority

Any idea what kind of services they provide?

Your provider is the one providing the identity of the caller when you supply the date and time of the call. My provider is Telstra.
Most of the time I manage to get a ph#. They do stuff up as they call multiple times and one of them will eventually make a mistake.
I'd say the vast majority don't call back when they know you've identified them. On three occasion I lodged a complaint after gathering enough info and it worked.
It's as good a system as it's going to be. The alternative is look the other way or don't answer the phone.
