In its 2026 pre=budget submission to Federal Treasury, ABC Alumni argues that, to ensure the ABC can meet its legislated policy role, the following budget actions should be taken:
- Additional ABC funding for emergency media services
- Additional ABC funding to extend regional and local media
- Adjust the formula and increase the rate of indexation applied to ABC operational funding
- Extend international media funding for the ABC at a rate of $20 million annually, plus indexation.
