Ausfilm appoints Bob McMullan as chairman

The organisation charged with promoting Australian film and television creation internationally has appointed a new chairperson.

As part of this week’s Ausfilm Week in London, former Labor minister,  Bob McMullan has been appointed to the newly created role of independent chairperson for the Ausfilm board.

While being independent of Ausfilm, McMullan will replace former chairperson Alaric McAusland, who steps down from the role.

McAusland said: “We are pleased and privileged that Bob has agreed to take on this new role and very much looking forward to working with him. Bob brings an excellent understanding of the international community and marketplace and an ongoing passion for the Arts. His depth of experience and knowledge will guide Ausfilm as it continues to engage with the international film and television community to market all that Australia has to offer.”
