Due to the controversial comments received by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) in the previous public consultation, the ACMA's application of the Upper 6 GHz (6425MHz-7125 MHz) frequency band has been put on hold pending the outcome of discussions at ITU WRC-23. In December 2023, WRC-23 formed a resolution on the allocation of the 6 GHz frequency band: Region 1 (Europe, Africa, The Russian Federation and the Arab States Region) allocated the entire 6425-7125 MHz band for IMT, some countries in Region 2 (the Americas) allocated the entire 6425-7125 MHz band for IMT, and in Region 3 (Asia-Pacific region) allocated the entire 7025-7125 MHz band for IMT, and on this basis, some countries in Region 3 allocated the entire 6425-7025 MHz band for IMT.

Australia's ACMA plans to discuss the 6 GHz band adjustment plan in a virtual format on 29 February, and will explore potential planning options for the 6 GHz band (6425–7125 MHz) for possible wireless local area network (RLAN) and/or IMT wireless broadband use. ACMA will also explore the applicability of Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) to expand the use of RLANs and examine related technical and regulatory issues.
