‘A long way to go’ for genuine representation on TV: Screen Australia

The representation of non-European main characters more than doubled in Australian TV dramas between 2016 and 2021. However, its percentage on-screen was still under the population benchmark, according to Screen Australia.

First Nations and Anglo-Celtic communities were the only two groups that outpaced their population benchmark percentages on-screen, while main characters of European, disabled and LGBTQ+ background remain under-represented.
