SBS Arabic live

SBS Arabic is the Arabic-language service of SBS, Australia's multicultural public broadcaster. Its slogan is "Australian News in Arabic". It is available on SBS's digital radio channels and online, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app.

Australian news in Arabic

SBS Arabic's main aim is to keep Arabic-speaking Australians informed about Australia in their own language: national and local news, government services, health information, education, immigration and settlement, and the issues that affect their communities.

News from the Arab world

The service also covers news from the Middle East and North Africa, with reports and interviews that explain events in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, Sudan and other countries with large communities in Australia.

Stories and community

Programmes feature the stories of Arabic-speaking Australians, interviews with community leaders, artists and experts, and coverage of community events and celebrations, including Ramadan and Eid. For new arrivals in particular, SBS Arabic is a trusted guide to life in Australia, from finding work and housing to understanding the health and school systems.
