5 AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION Section 1: Entity overview and resources 1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is one of the country s most important cultural institutions. As the primary national public broadcaster, it reflects Australia s national identity and cultural diversity, informs and educates, facilitates public debate and fosters the performing arts. The ABC plays a significant role in the lives of all Australians, not only through the broadcasting and digital media services it delivers, but also through direct engagement with local communities around the country. The ABC s place in the Australian media environment is distinctive because of its Charter (section 6 of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983 (the ABC Act )). The Charter and other provisions of the ABC Act give the Corporation particular responsibilities, such as providing independent news and information. The ABC Act guarantees the editorial and administrative independence of the ABC from the Government. The ABC Board is charged with a duty to ensure the functions of the Corporation are performed efficiently and with maximum benefit to the people of Australia, to maintain the independence and integrity of the Corporation and other various duties. The functions of the Corporation, set out in section 6(1) of the ABC Act, are: To provide, within Australia, innovative and comprehensive broadcasting services of a high standard as part of the Australian broadcasting system, consisting of national, commercial and community sectors and to provide: broadcasting programs that contribute to a sense of national identity and inform and entertain, and reflect the cultural diversity of, the Australian community; and broadcasting programs of an educational nature. To transmit to countries outside Australia, broadcasting programs of news, current affairs, entertainment and cultural enrichment that will: encourage awareness of Australia and an international understanding of Australian attitudes on world affairs; and enable Australian citizens living or travelling outside Australia to obtain information about Australian affairs and Australian attitudes on world affairs. To provide digital media services. To encourage and promote the musical, dramatic and other performing arts in Australia. 47

6 The ABC provides unique and often critically important points of connection and support for communities throughout Australia. These include formal agreements with Federal and State and Territory authorities for the provision of emergency services information when local communities are affected by natural disasters. The ABC currently operates under the ABC Strategic Plan, which states that it will strive to maintain a leadership position in digital media, capitalising fully on its strengths in key content areas. The Corporation will continue to innovate and provide national coverage and carriage of its services on all major platforms. It will seek to strengthen the diversity and availability of Australian content, and to support and promote creativity and new talent. It remains committed to providing the best possible news and information with expanded and improved coverage; to developing further its presence and multi-platform capacity in regional Australia; and to acting as a virtual town square in providing information that supports reasoned community debate around topics of importance. The ABC will move to annual corporate plans, in conformity with the requirements of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 and associated Rules. The Corporation is also in the process of responding to the additional efficiency savings funding reduction announced by the Minister for Communications in November The ABC Board will fully assess the Government s funding decisions, and the impact these will have on the Corporation s activities, and will confirm specific allocations in line with the strategic direction it has set for the period. ABC appropriations were previously allocated in relation to four Outcomes, including separate Outcomes 2, 3 and 4 for transmission. However, following a decision by Government that transmission and distribution funding should form part of the ABC s operational funding base, ABC appropriations are now under a single Outcome, specifically: Outcome 1: Informed, educated and entertained audiences throughout Australia and overseas through innovative and comprehensive media and related services. As a result of these changes, transmission and distribution Programmes formerly falling under separate transmission Outcomes have been combined into a single new Programme, ABC Transmission and Distribution Services, under Outcome 1. Refer to section 1.4 for further detail. 48

13 Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance 2.1 OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programmes are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programmes which contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years. Each outcome is described below together with its related programmes, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of the ABC in achieving government outcomes. Outcome 1: Informed, educated and entertained audiences throughout Australia and overseas through innovative and comprehensive media and related services Outcome 1 strategy The ABC aims to provide the leading Australian public media space where people engage and share their experiences. In the multi-platform, multi-channel media environment, it will do so by: fully embracing and developing digital platforms for diverse Australian content; creating opportunities for Australian creativity in audio-visual production, music and story-telling, including user-generated content and social media; being a town square that hosts national conversation via established and emerging media platforms; providing the most reliable and relevant source of news and information across all platforms; strengthening the ABC s presence and capacity in regional Australia; and engaging with audiences in Asia and the Pacific through the combined strength of Radio Australia and Australia Plus. In delivering its media services, the ABC uses transmission and distribution services provided by a third party or parties. The ABC provides oversight of these arrangements through a range of Transmission Service Agreements. In managing these Agreements, the ABC strives to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that all Australian communities have reliable access to all relevant national and local broadcasting services. The Transmission Service Agreements ensure that the ABC continues to provide: audiences in Australia and overseas with access to ABC satellite and analog terrestrial radio transmission services; 55

14 audiences in Australia with access to ABC digital television services; and audiences in Australian capital cities with access to ABC digital radio services, in accordance with Government-approved implementation policy. 56
