About ABC Radio Australia
ABC Radio Australia is the ABC's international radio service for the Asia-Pacific region. It broadcasts on FM in many Pacific Island and Asian cities, on digital radio and online, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app. The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, so its stations carry no commercial advertising.
A voice for the Pacific
Radio Australia's programmes are made for listeners in the Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Asia, as well as Australians abroad. It carries news from Australia and the region, current affairs, stories from Pacific communities, and music from the Pacific and beyond.
Languages
Most programmes are in English, and Radio Australia also has programmes in Tok Pisin, the widely spoken language of Papua New Guinea, among other regional languages.
News and current affairs
Pacific news and current affairs programmes cover politics, the economy, climate and disasters, sport and culture across the region, often with reporters on the ground.
A long history
Radio Australia began during the Second World War and was for decades one of the best-known shortwave broadcasters in the world. Today it reaches listeners through FM transmitters in the region, satellite, digital radio and online streams.
In Australia
In Australia, Radio Australia can be heard on DAB+ digital radio and online, and many Pacific communities living in Australia listen to keep in touch with news from home, from elections and cyclones to rugby and music.
