Although the unit at first relied upon funding allocation to the Corporation's television and radio operations, in subsequent budgets it began to receive its own. The ABC provided live, online election coverage for the first time in 1996, although it was not until 1997 until limited news content was provided.

ABC Multimedia was renamed ABC New Media and Digital Services in 2000, at the same time becoming an 'output division' similar to Television or Radio. cite web
