The Communications Law Centre, UTS is an independent, non-profit, public interest centre specialising in communications, media and online law and policy.

Reform
Communications law addresses the flow of information and communications and the function of the media. It is a key part of the social fabric. Its proper function maintains the health of a liberal democracy. Well founded communications policy, law and practice are elements of the social infrastructure of a national and global information society and the knowledge economy.
Communications policy encompasses the legal, social and economic aspects of many subjects which are of vital interest to the community.
CLC will focus its resources to make a meaningful contribution to the field of communications and media policy, law and practice and we will conduct an agenda of research and reform which contributes to social and economic development.
