Deborah Mailman is set to become the first Indigenous person to be inducted into the Logie Awards Hall of Fame.
"This means everything," Mailman, a Bidjara and Maori actor, tells ABC Radio National's Awaye!
"For me and for our mob, this isn't just recognition for me.
"It's recognition for everyone who's gone before me, who changed things for someone like me to be doing the work that I'm doing."
On Sunday Mailman will become the sixth woman to join the list in just over 40 years, following recent inductees Rebecca Gibney (2024) and Magda Szubanski (2025).
Deborah Mailman makes history as first Indigenous person inducted into Logies Hall of Fame
On Sunday night, Deborah Mailman will become the first person of First Nations descent to be inducted into the Logie Awards Hall of Fame, as well as only the sixth woman.
“I had a moment of almost bursting into tears,” she says. “I couldn’t quite understand it all, to be honest. It took some time for it to land because I was like, ‘Are you sure?’ I had to re-read the email and go, ‘Hang on, what?’ And then when I started thinking [about it], I got really quite emotional about it.”
The award, which began in 1984, recognises “outstanding and continued contribution and enrichment to Australian television culture by an individual, a group of individuals, or a program”. Mailman will be one of three inductees on the night, with the other two revealed during the ceremony.
