Most broadcasting investigation reports are published on this website. From the April - June 2011 quarter, report summaries (including the findings) are published under the Quarterly broadcasting investigations summary section of the ACMA's website (prior to the April - June 2011 quarter, summaries can be found in old copies of the ACMA's newsletter ACMAsphere) and in the ACMA Annual Report.
Prior to August 2008, only breach reports were published in full. Summaries of non-breach reports prior to August 2008 can be found in ACMAsphere and in ACMA Annual Reports.
