In a note to staff Anderson – who was appointed to role in 2019 - says it was an honour and privilege to lead the ABC
He was first appointed to the role in 2019. He was later appointed for a second term on 1 July 2023, and was supposed to be in the role until July 2028.
Anderson said he had told chairman Kim Williams of his decision and he had agreed to stay in the role until a new managing director had been appointed in the new year. In a note to staff, Anderson said: “When I was formally appointed Managing Director of the ABC in 2019, I said it is a privilege to be appointed to the role, overseeing one of Australia’s most loved and respected cultural institutions.
“Not a day has gone by since when I haven’t reflected on that privilege, and the honour of leading the ABC, advocating for the work we do and most importantly, doing my best to support all of you, the ABC’s greatest asset. “It is with sincere thanks and gratitude that, after more than five years as Managing Director, I write to you all to advise that I have informed ABC Chair, Kim Williams of my intention to leave the ABC.”
