PBS FINE PRINT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

It is important for all announcers, volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. It is available online (to save the trees) from here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS staff, Announcers and volunteers to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read this carefully.
