When displayed in a prominent location – such as on your gate post or by the front door – a Do Not Knock sticker sends a clear message to salespeople – they are not welcome at this address. Here’s three ways to get the sticker:

For many Australians, particularly the elderly and people living on their own, being visited by salespeople can be an unnerving experience. For others, having valuable time at home with family and friends interrupted by pushy salespeople is simply an unwelcome distraction. But help is at hand.
We’re now distributing Do Not Knock stickers which, when displayed in a prominent location, sends a clear message salespeople—‘you’re not welcome here.’
Door-to-door salespeople often use high-pressure tactics to get people to buy products they don’t want, don’t need, and can’t afford. We’ve heard of cases where people have been deliberately misled, and even unwittingly signed up to high cost financing to pay for the product.
We also understand that some unscrupulous salespeople will target new Australians or people with limited English, signing them up for contracts without fully explaining the details, costs and cooling-off rights.
The Do Not Knock sticker will not only significantly reduce the inconvenience of having people bother you at home, but it will help stop some of the poor sales techniques used in this form of selling.
More information on the Do Not Knock campaign, including information on your legal rights and how to make a complaint is available at

Apparently when sales-people knock on your door, while the sticker is displayed, you can report them.....not that sure of the details, sorry! We've got one and it's great, deterring annoying door knockers 
Except for the odd occasions where you need to point it out to them, but when you do they leave instantly, although annoyed!
