The DSB is the self-regulatory arm of the Australian Catalogue Association, whose members print and distribute around 90% of all unaddressed advertising catalogues.

The DSB members abide by a strict Code of Practice to maintain standards of privacy, litter control, cooperation with local authorities and compliance with all EPA guidelines.

The DSB maintains a database of all known addresses that carry a restrictive sign on the letterbox, and provides free of charge a reflective No Advertising Material sticker, on receipt of a stamped addressed envelope to DSB Sticker PO Box 6252 Karingal Vic 3199.

The DSB provides a Hot Line for consumers to report illegal or irresponsible distribution practices.
