The Advertising Standards Bureau is secretariat for the Advertising Standards Board and the Advertising Claims Board. The Bureau, based in Canberra, works to promote the work of the Boards and the role of the Advertising Standards Bureau in the system of advertising self-regulation. The Bureau is governed by a Board of Directors.
