Noelle Beasley went to work for the ABC in Perth in 1950. She was employed as a secretary but quickly found herself asked to do everything from running the concert department to appearing on the cover of the broadcaster's magazine.
Ms Beasley was working in advertising at radio station 6PR when she and a friend were offered jobs at the ABC in Perth, almost by chance.
Noelle and her friend both said yes, because it was "a bit more prestigious" and also had higher pay, she said.
