Children's Television Advertising Standards Review

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has published public submissions in response to their review of the Children’s Television Standards (CTS) at their website.

According to the ACMA, this review "aims to ensure that the CTS are operating effectively in the current environment and to identify the building blocks required to position the CTS for the future media environment".

A number of organisations associated with the Victorian Oral Health Alliance have made submissions to this review, with special emphasis on banning junk food advertising to children, and copies of these can be accessed at the ACMA website. Look for submissions by the Coalition on Food Advertising to Children, the Australian Dental Association, VicHealth, and Choice, amongst others.
