ABC is on the hunt of a newly created ABC iviewer to create social media content which it is sourcing via an online competition.
The winner will be paid ABC Award rates and will need to comply with normal ABC employee requirements.
“Love watching TV? Able to pull together entertaining videos? Do you know the ins-and-outs of social media? If you answered Yes to any of the above, apply now to be the ABC iviewer,” a contest notice announces.
“We’re looking for an official #ABCiviewer who can create content to help audiences decide what to watch. In any given week there’s more than 4,000 hours of content on ABC iview, and our ABC iviewer will help people find the shows that appeal to them.”
Over the three-month paid contract, the winner will:
- Watch a range of current and upcoming shows on ABC iview.
- Create entertaining, engaging short-form video content for ABC social channels – across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.
- Receive mentoring from industry experts, as part of the ABC’s support for emerging Australian creatives.
Applicants must watch something on ABC iview and create a video up to a minute long, posting to Instagram, TikTok or YouTube with the hashtag #ABCiviewer.
News Corp owned Binge recently held a competition for reviewers but the prize was a free subscription, which drew some criticism for not paying its winners.

The next time the ABC cries poor, I hope somebody throws this article in their face.
