Melbourne, Victoria, Australia e866428e-c050-4845-bea8-2ade1fd6501e Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

We are looking for a News Camera Operator to join Melbourne's Overnight News roster. This is fast, reactive news work. You are the first on scene, shooting breaking stories for all major networks.

This work is not general videography. It requires someone who can see a story fast, work without handholding, and think on their feet. If you have a news background or want to move deeper into news long term, this is ideal.

What the role involves


• Shooting breaking news across Melbourne overnight


• Working from the ABC Southbank building


• Collecting the supplied ABC vehicle and full kit each shift


• Using supplied camera, scanner, phone, laptop and gear


• Monitoring scanners to respond to active jobs


• Uploading vision to networks immediately from scene


• Staying in contact with Chiefs of Staff and morning producers


• Filming events when requested by networks

Why this role suits a real news operator


• All gear supplied, nothing needed from you


• Regular overnight shifts


• Work on the biggest stories in the city


• No two nights are the same


• You will develop speed, judgement and real newsroom instincts

Who we want


• Strong news sense


• Fast under pressure


• Reliable, focused and able to work solo


• Clean driver's licence


• Someone who wants consistent overnight work

We can train the right person, but a solid news background is a major advantage.
