Resources: Public Service Announcements

The Marketing & Communications Division offers public service announcements (PSAs) in a variety of formats. These PSAs can be run by local television and radio stations, or in any event where an audiovisual display would be useful. We encourage local councils to establish relationships with local public service announcement directors and present them with the PSAs.

All samples of these PSAs are in QuickTime ([MOV]) format and have been compressed to facilitate viewing on the internet. They do not reflect the quality of the actual PSAs distributed on tape or DVD.
