ABC Managing Director David Anderson is stepping down from his role at the Australian pubcaster.
He has notified the ABC board of his intention to exit and will leave following a recruitment process for his successor.
He will stay on until a new Managing Director has been appointed, which will keep him in post until early 2025.

The Meaa has warned its members that a sophisticated scam targeting performers and crew has reached Australia and that at least one Australian stunt performer has been defrauded of thousands of dollars.
The scam is believed to have trapped at least 10 victims in Australia. The union has advised its members to take extra precautions when dealing with people purporting to be high-level Hollywood executives.
The ruse involves a skilled impersonator with detailed knowledge of yet-to-be-released Hollywood screen productions made in Australia, with accomplices based in Indonesia.
The international operation was first revealed by The Hollywood Reporter last year. The latest victim is a Meaa stunt member who was approached via email by a person impersonating American producer Jon Jashni.
“When I received the email, my gut said ‘as if,’ but the content of the email was convincing,” the stunt member, who asked not to be identified, said.
