The ABC had 17 million weekly active digital users in 2021-22, and the budget papers show that it had a target of 18.3 million active users for 2022-23. However, the public broadcaster is now expected to boast just 13.4 million active digital users in the current financial year. In contrast, SBS is expected to have 13.1 million digital registrations in 2022-23, well ahead of its target of 11.6 million. Meanwhile, the federal government will allocate additional funding in 2023-24 to ensure improved access to broadcasting services for Indigenous people in remote communities.
