“This result shows good progress and it’s not by accident – it represents years of advocacy and consistent hard work to ensure our practitioners feel supported and are afforded opportunities in an industry that hasn’t always been accessible,” saidThe study, ‘Seeing Ourselves 2: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Australian TV Drama’, looked at the diversity of main characters in 361 scripted TV and online dramas broadcast between 2016 and 2021, and how this compares to the Australian population.
Similarly, representation of LGBTIQ+ characters increased to 7.4%, up from 4.5% in 2016, but was still below the estimated 11% of the population who identify as LGBTIQ+. The report also found that while 53% of Australians have Anglo-Celtic ancestry, they represented 71% of the main characters in local TV drama. However, this was down from 82% in 2016, suggesting progress has been made. The share of non-European main characters more than doubled from 6.9% to 16%, but was still below the population benchmark of 25%.
