YOU CAN ASK THAT: YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THE ABC

Business The floor is yours. Hear directly from the ABC team as they answer everything you ever wanted to know about documentary content at the broadcaster. Submit your question in advance (anonymously, if you prefer).

Ever wanted to ask the ABC what really happens behind the scenes? Now’s your chance.

Join Kirk Docker — co-creator, producer, and interviewer of the award-winning ABC series You Can’t Ask That — for an unfiltered conversation with the ABC commissioning team. This is your opportunity to get genuine insight into how documentary and specialist content is commissioned, developed, and greenlit.

What makes a pitch stand out? Would we ever commission reality? When should you bring your project to the ABC? What is your standard licence fee? Who is your audience? Do we commission from emerging producers? What are we looking for in 2026 and beyond?

No question is off-limits. Submit yours in advance via the anonymous form (coming soon) or ask it live in the room.
