Codes of Practice - Appendix 2: Codes of Practice Announcement Example
Under Code 1.7 community radio stations are required to broadcast "one on-air announcement each week that contains information about the Codes and where listeners can get a copy".
The following script is an example of a community service announcement that could be recorded and played in order to meet the requirements of Code 1.7.
This example points the audience to the website of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia in order to download a copy. While this would satisfy the requirements of the Codes, stations are encouraged to make copies available on your own websites or through a direct request to the station. As such, stations may edit the script accordingly.
