The ACMA has registered the revised Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice 2025 (the Codes).
The new Codes will not come into force until July 1, 2025. The Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice 2008 version remains in force until this date.
We thank our members for contributions to updating the Codes which helped us make the Codes more clear, and easier for your staff and volunteers to comply with.
The CBAA will support stations to ensure staff and volunteers understand the changes before they come into effect on July 1, 2025. We are already working on training and guidance materials to support all broadcasters understand and comply with the Codes.
The new Codes will be accompanied by practical easy-to-use guidance material to help each station check off the things it needs to do to comply with the new Codes. This guidance material will provide templates for policies, processes to follow and suggestions for best practice.
