About this site

The Broadcasting Standards Authority (www.bsa.govt.nz) oversees the broadcasting standards regime in New Zealand. The broadcasting standards outline what is required of broadcasters when they broadcast programmes in New Zealand.

We do this by deciding complaints that broadcasts have breached standards, by doing research, and also by providing information about the broadcasting standards.

The purpose of our website is to help our users find the information they need, whether they are making a complaint, searching our decisions, accessing our research documents, or checking the broadcasting standards. To achieve this, our website needs to be:

• accessible and easy to use
• accurate in its information
• clear in its communication.

Our website has been designed with these requirements in mind.
