ABC statement on Dr Norman Swan
Dr Norman Swan is a highly experienced ABC journalist and health professional who offers informed insights and analysis as part of the ABCâs coverage of COVID-19.
Dr Swan is doing invaluable work briefing the community on the implications of COVID-19 and helping answer peopleâs questions, including in the Coronacast podcast.
This has included setting out scenarios on what might occur as a result of the pandemic given various different assumptions, primarily using international information because Australian data have not been available. This work has been to the highest scientific standard.
Dr Swan has worked with the ABC since 1982. His contract allows him to undertake external work. All such external work is subject to approval to ensure it does not create any conflicts with the individualâs work for the ABC.
As has already been publicly disclosed in past years, Dr Swanâs external work includes Tonic Health Media, which produces fact-based, independent medical content that streams on video screens in GP waiting rooms and is used by Aboriginal medical services. Dr Swan is a minority shareholder and sits on the board.
Its clients include commercial organisations and government agencies. Its content has included programming on Hepatitis C, produced with support from the Queensland state government and Hepatitis SA, information for pregnant women on influenza immunisation and a campaign to help young women diagnose breast cancer as early as possible.
Another aspect of Tonic Health Mediaâs work is its not-for-profit channel the Aboriginal Health Television Network which goes to two-thirds of Aboriginal medical services throughout Australia and provides critical health messaging for communities.
Dr Swanâs involvement is to ensure such programming is evidenced-based, accurate and of value to consumers.
Any accusation of a conflict of interest between Dr Swanâs contribution to the community about COVID-19 as a journalist and the work of Tonic Health Media is unfounded.
Dr Swan is a valued member of the ABC Science Unit. Rightly, he is highly regarded and respected for his commitment to independence and integrity.
