My shared home phone was once the number for a business my parents ran.
Perhaps that's the difference?

It could be, but since it's now a residential service, you can list your number on the Do Not Call Register (https://www.donotcall.gov.au).
Legitimate businesses are obliged to "wash" their contact lists through this, to avoid complaints and possible action taken against them. Non-legitimate businesses/scammers don't give a crap, obviously.
Whales:
I've now listed it there and I'll see how I go.

I'll be interested to see what kind of impact this has in your case after about a month. Feel free to report back.

Update: Shared home phone has had no telemarketer calls for the past few days. Putting it on the Australian DNC list seems to have made an immediate impact, like magic. I'll keep watching it.
