Fast Track to Commission: Secrets of Getting Your Show Away with the ABC

Business Meet the ABC team as they share valuable insights into what they are looking for in 2025 and beyond – and where opportunities lie for local creators.

Australian stories are at the heart of the ABC, and the ABC team is always on the hunt for the next great story. Whether it’s a brilliant feature documentary, a returnable format, a true crime box set, a hybrid genre, or a bluechip co-production, there’s opportunity to work with the ABC to bring your story to life and reach all Australians.

Moderated by Kelrick Martin, in this session the ABC team – including Susie Jones, Jo Chichester, Julie Hanna, Stephen Oliver, and Kalita Corrigan – will share valuable insights into how to work with the ABC, where opportunities lie for Australian creators, what guides their commissioning, and what they are looking for in 2025 and beyond.
