The Albanese Labor Government has appointed Ms Michelle Lim Davidson as Commonwealth representative member to the Australian Children’s Television Foundation Board for three years.

Ms Lim Davidson is an actor and writer who has worked extensively in theatre, film and television – most recently receiving an Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts International Award nomination in 2021.

She has been a regular presenter on the children’s television program Play School since 2012 and has been the presenter of Big Ted’s Big Adventure, Nursery Rhyme News Time and Science Time on ABC Kids.

The Australian Children’s Television Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that develops high quality children’s drama and educational resources.

The Foundation aims to make Australian children’s lives better through screen content that reflects our culture and values.

Minister for the Arts, Tony Burke, said Ms Lim Davidson was the natural choice.

“Michelle will bring extraordinary talent and a sharp intellect to this Board.

“I’m thrilled she’s agreed to bring her expert knowledge and valuable insights to the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.”
