Comments
The Audit Bureaux of Australia have been auditing media circulation for about 75 years. Reports/Summaries, minutes and annual reports, and some other files, such as media clippings and media releases, are available for outside researchers. Most other material requires clearance from the organisations to which it relates and can be requested via the ABA. All summaries/reports for both ABC and CAB have been digitised, as well as other organisational documents. Online access to historical material is provided on request for research or study purposes. Some current documents (e.g. rules and guidelines, annual reports) are available on the website.
