About Ad Standards
The AANA, along with Ad Standards, oversees Australia’s advertising self-regulation system. The system has operated effectively for more than 25 years, demonstrating high levels of engagement and compliance.
AANA develops, reviews and updates the advertising codes to ensure they reflect the evolving landscape of advertising practices and meet community expectations.
Ad Standards independently investigates and handles complaints under these codes and promotes responsible advertising. Decisions about ads are made by the Ad Standards Community Panel, an impartial body composed of individuals from various age groups and backgrounds, unaffiliated with the advertising industry.
In a typical year, Ad Standards receives over 3000 individual complaints and investigates hundreds of ads. All Community Panel decisions are published on the Ad Standards website.
