ABC Editorial Policies

The ABC sets high standards for the quality of its content, and the information on this site will help you maintain those standards.

This is where you will find:

• Editorial Policies that set out the guiding principles of our editorial approach and the enforceable standards you must follow.
• The Preamble that sets out the overriding aims and principles behind the Editorial Policies.
• A Note on Interpretation and Scope of the editorial policies.
• Guidance Notes that explain in more detail how to interpret and apply those standards.
• You can also access the ABC’s Code of Practice and Associated Standard for Television Program Classification.

You can go straight to the policy or guidance you need using the tabs above or use the search form to find a topic.
