It also had a role of handing out licenses, however the Postmaster-General's Department was responsible for the engineering functions.

The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal took over the functions of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board in the 1970s. The engineering function in some cases was handled by the National Transmission Authority, when the Post Office ceased being responsible for telecommunications.
