ABC International Head Claire M Gorman said:

“We’re thrilled by the latest audience results across our digital platforms and linear broadcast networks.

The ABC’s strong international audience growth demonstrates the impact of additional Government funding under the Indo-Pacific Broadcasting Strategy in developing improved distribution networks and producing high-quality, bespoke content that reflects the diversity of stories across the region.”
