THE MEDIA ACCESS REPORT
ISSUE 2 – AUTUMN 2007
Media Access Australia is a not-for-profit, public benevolent institution and Australia’s primary media access organisation. Our role is to provide information about media access and to develop and apply technological solutions to media access issues.
MAA is the new name for the public benevolent institution formerly known as the Australian Caption Centre, which was founded in 1982. As the ACC, we provided captioning services for all the Australian television networks, as well as the captioning of television commercials, live theatre, videos and DVDs, and pioneered the audio description of DVDs in Australia in 2005. The captioning and other commercial operations of the former Australian Caption Centre were sold to Red Bee Media in 2006. MAA no longer engages in the provision of commercial access services.
MAA is based in Sydney and works in collaboration with consumer organisations, Government and industry across the country.
