Mike Fitzpatrick confirms ABC exit

Mike Fitzpatrick, the ABC’s Head of Capital City Network and Sport, has confirmed to this publication he will be leaving the national broadcaster this month to focus on his health.

Fitzpatrick says “At the end of last year, I was diagnosed with a health condition that has led to extended hospital stays and significant time away from work.”

“Although I’ve returned over the past weeks, it’s become clear that I’m simply not well enough to work full-time and I need to focus on managing my condition and my health.”

Fitzpatrick joined the ABC early last year. He was previously Content Director at SCA and Head of Content at Triple M.
