The independent review into the ABC's systems and processes addressing racism involved interviews with 120 current and former employees.

ABC managing director David Anderson has apologised to current and former staff who have experienced racism at the broadcaster, following the release of an independent review into its complaints systems and processes for supporting employees. The review Listen Loudly, Act Strongly was announced by Anderson in May 2023 and led by Indigenous lawyer Dr Terri Janke, a Wuthati, Yadhaighana and Meriam woman.

The review involved interviews with 120 current and former ABC staff to hear their perspectives and said their responses "overwhelmingly indicate that racism exists within the ABC workplace and that ABC staff are subjected to racism from external individuals and organisations in connection with their work".
