The commercial radio code of practice covers the matters prescribed in section 123 of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, and other matters relating to program content that are of concern to the community. The Code is intended to operate alongside the Authority's Standards which regulate programs for children and the Australian content of programs and advertisements.
The Code is the result of an extensive consultation with government advisory bodies, community interest groups and the public generally.
The codes also include procedures on how the stations will handle complaints. Printed copies are available from Commercial Radio Australia, Level 5, 88 Foveaux Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010. Tel: +61 2 9281 6577. Fax: +61 2 9281 6599.
