ABC resets its diversity targets – some of which it’s meeting and some it’s not

The ABC has released its Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Plan 2023 – 2026, which shows the national broadcaster is reaching a number of its own employment targets, while falling short in other key areas.

Of the ABC’s total 4,419 employees, 55.4% are female, 44.1% male, and 0.5% gender diverse.

Currently, 55.4% of executive roles are held by women, higher than its own 50% target, while the number of women in tech roles is 24.2%, compared with the 25% goal.
