Australian Council on Children and the Media

Parents and professionals alike struggle to determine what constitutes healthy use of screens and electronic media in today's surround-sound-and-vision environment.

The Australian Council on Children and the Media (ACCM)- a national community-based organisation- utilises its expertise and experience to sift the latest research and provide evidence-based information, strategies and reviews for screen management that supports healthy child development.

ACCM's two review services Know Before You Load (movies) and Know Before You Load (apps) provide free access to child-development- based reviews so users can be better informed about age-appropriateness and problematic content.
