Over nearly thirty years, the ABC Indigenous department has become the centre of excellence for production of Indigenous Australian television and the development of Indigenous filmmakers in Australia. The first ABC Indigenous produced show was ‘Blackout’, followed by 'Kam Yam', 'Songlines', and 'Message Stick' which ran for 14 seasons.
In 2010, the Indigenous Department was re-branded with a new objective: develop quality primetime Indigenous drama and documentaries. The first series commissioned was ‘Redfern Now’ (2013). ABC Indigenous has gone on to produce outstanding series such as ‘Gods of Wheat Street’ (2014), ‘Black Comedy’ (2014) and 8MMM (2015). And with no signs of slowing down, Black Comedy will return in 2016 along with a brand new genre series ‘Cleverman’.
ABC Indigenous supports Indigenous creatives in the industry, proving Indigenous filmmakers and storytellers can lead the way in making exciting Australian television.
