His depth and breadth of experience coupled with his passion for running high performing, award winning teams, will be a great asset for us as we continue to provide a vital service for our communities, and reach more Australians with distinctive First Nations stories. 

“As NITV prepares to mark nine years of being available free-to-air to all Australians later this year, we’re proud to be delivering what we were established for all those years ago: ensuring First Nations voices are heard and represented in the media landscape.
