Several companies previously provided reverse call services in [[Australia]], including 1800MUMDAD, 1800Reverse and 1800PhoneHome. In 2019, major telecommunication providers [[Optus]] and [[Telstra]] ceased billing services on behalf of third party content providers, causing these services to close.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=1800 Reverse finally hangs up on collect calls business |url=https://www.itnews.com.au/news/1800-reverse-finally-hangs-up-on-collect-calls-business-530514 |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=iTnews}}</ref>

Telstra ran a reverse charge service called HomeLink during the 1990s and 2000s. Homelink consisted of an 1800 number and [[Personal identification number|PIN]] that could only be linked to the user's home phone service. Calls were billed at a slightly higher cost than a standard local call. HomeLink grew out of popularity with the rise in mobile phones.
