THE federal government has made three new appointments to the boards of the ABC and SBS networks for a five-year period.

Simon Mordant, currently chairman of the Museum of Contemporary Arts Board and director of the Sydney Theatre Company, has been appointed to the ABC board.

Dorothy West and William Lenehan have been appointed to the SBS Board.

Ms West is currently a board member of the Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media Association and is a scriptwriter and consultant.

Mr Lenehan is a media industry consultant from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, having previously had a 28-year career with the Ten Network, where he held the position of general manager in both Brisbane and Sydney.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy congratulated the appointees.

"They will bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills to the boards of our national broadcasters that will continue to strengthen these important national institutions," Senator Conroy said in a statement on Wednesday.

All appointees were selected in accordance with the guidelines of a merit-based appointment process put in place by the Gillard government.

"These merit-based appointments further demonstrate our resolve to remove political interference from this process and to promote independence in the ABC and SBS Boards," he said.
