Under the Australian Spam Act, every commercial electronic message must contain a functional and legitimate 'unsubscribe' facility. This is an electronic address the recipient can use to tell the sender they do not wish to receive messages (amca.gov.au, 2015).
The purpose of this feature is to allow users to easily comply with the requirement of this act by including an unsubscribe link in messages which they deem to be a commercial electronic message (CEM).
With the Unsubscribe feature activated, when a patient replies 'STOP' to an SMS or e-mail, D4W/PSS will automatically mark their file as such, so they do not receive future communication.
If a patient unsubscribed from Appointment Reminders, he/she will still receive Recall Reminders.
