About ABC KIDS listen

ABC Kids listen is the ABC's radio and audio service for young children. It streams online and on DAB+ digital radio, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app. The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, so there is no commercial advertising.

For little ears

ABC Kids listen is made for preschool and early school-age children and their families. It plays children's music, songs from favourite ABC Kids shows, stories, nursery rhymes and short programmes that help children learn and play.

Through the day

The programming follows a child's day: lively music and songs for the morning and play time, calmer music and stories in the afternoon, and gentle, soothing sounds in the evening and overnight to help children wind down and sleep.

Safe and ad-free

Because it is part of the ABC, ABC Kids listen has no ads, which many parents appreciate when children are listening at home or in the car.

Australian voices

Many songs and stories come from Australian artists, educators and storytellers, and the programmes reflect Australian life, places and animals. Songs from well-known Australian children's performers sit alongside new music made especially for young listeners, and stories are read slowly and clearly so children can follow along.

Other ABC stations

On this site you will also find the ABC's other networks, including ABC Classic and ABC Classic 2 for calm music, triple j, Double J and the ABC Local Radio stations.

Listen anywhere

The stream works on any phone, tablet, computer or smart speaker, so it is easy to play in a child's room, in the car or on holiday.
