Convergence Review

The Convergence Review is an independent review established by the Australian Government to examine the policy and regulatory frameworks that apply to the converged media and communications landscape in Australia. To find out more about the Review, click here to visit the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Convergence Review website.

Free TV broadcasters are the major underwriters of quality Australian content to all Australians for free. The media landscape is changing rapidly with content available across an array of entertainment platforms and devices. While Free TV broadcasters are adapting and changing to the new environment with more services on more platforms, the regulations have not changed. What is required is a more even playing field which allows all media players to compete fairly and meet the challenges of the future, otherwise the overwhelming majority of Australians who rely exclusively on free-to-air services will lose access to quality Australian programming for free.
