Public Members

The Australian Press Council is responsible for promoting high standards of media practice, community access to information of public interest and freedom of expression through the media. It also sets standards and responds to complaints about material in Australian newspapers and magazines, as well as a growing number of online-only publications.

The Australian Press Council is now seeking expressions of interest across a number of key member appointments who will support the Council in achieving these aims, who bring a diversity of thought and an appreciation of contemporary social issues and community expectations.
