The Australian Film Television and Radio School have appointed Peter Noble as the Director of First Nations and Outreach.

Hailing from North Queensland, the Girramay and Bandjin man has made the move to the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) after serving as the General Manager at NITV since 2021.

With more than 25 years of experience in the media industry, Mr Noble has worked across various content disciplines such as family entertainment, international and domestic sport, news, factual and lifestyle.

He has also worked with a diverse range of brands and platforms, including The Walt Disney Company, Seven Network, Red Bull, and Network Ten.

"I am thrilled to join such a prestigious institution, renowned for its rich history in guiding, mentoring, and cultivating some of Australia's finest media practitioners," Mr Noble said.

"As a proud Indigenous person, it is an honour to steward the First Nations and Outreach Division. I have walked a unique path across commercial media - both within Australia and internationally - and I am excited to share these experiences with AFTRS.

"I am energised by the recent appointment of Council Chair Rachel Perkins, and wish to thank Dr. Nell Greenwood and the entire executive team for welcoming me to the AFTRS community."

The First Nations and Outreach team is dedicated to launching and guiding organised educational and training programs for individuals in Australia from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds, whether they are new, emerging, or experienced practitioners.

By collaborating with important industry and community partners, the team upholds AFTRS' cultural mission to guarantee that the narratives and perspectives showcased in the screen and broadcast sectors authentically reflect the diversity of the Australian population.

AFTRS chief executive, Dr Nell Greenwood said the AFTRS team is excited to welcome Mr Noble into his new role.

"He will bring exceptional experience, great warmth and professional ethos to building upon the work the First Nations and Outreach team has accomplished, Dr Greenwood said.

"The School is committed to embedding First Nations values within AFTRS through co-design, co-determination, and collaboration, and we look forward to adding Peter's leadership to this vital work."

Mr Noble will commence at AFTRS in late August.
