Australian Broadcasting Control Board

Australian Broadcasting Control Board

The Australian Broadcasting Control Board was an Australian government agency whose main roles were to regulate broadcasting, radiocommunications and telecommunications. It also had a role of handing out licenses, however the Postmaster-General's Department was responsible for the engineering functions.

The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal took over the functions of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board in the 1970s. The engineering function in some cases was handled by the National Transmission Authority, when the Post Office ceased being responsible for telecommunications.

The Australian Broadcasting Authority took over the functions of the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal and the National Transmission Authority.

On 1 July 2005, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) combined the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) and the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) .
