The Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice (2025)<\/a> took effect on 1 July 2025. Developed by the community broadcasting sector in consultation with the Australian Communications and Media Authority<\/a> (ACMA), the Codes reflect our collective commitment to high standards and strong community representation.

The Codes cover essential areas of practice such as governance, diversity, emergency broadcasting, sponsorship, news and journalistic content, and First Nations engagement. 

All stations, regardless of CBAA membership status or their governing principles, are obligated to understand and follow the Codes of Practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
