Special Broadcasting Service (SBS)
SBS holds a unique place in the national media landscape. For over 50 years, it has been inspiring all Australians to explore, respect and celebrate our diverse world and in doing so, contributing to an inclusive and cohesive society.
Starting in 1975 as radio programs in a handful of languages, SBS is today the national broadcaster reflecting all Australians. It is an innovative, multiplatform, multilingual media organisation unlike any other globally, continuously adapting and growing to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse Australian population.
Its services span a free-to-air TV portfolio across six distinctive channels – SBS, National Indigenous Television (NITV), SBS VICELAND, SBS Food, SBS World Movies, and SBS WorldWatch; an extensive audio network across more than 60 languages serving culturally and linguistically diverse communities; and an innovative digital offering, including leading streaming destination SBS On Demand, providing a world of programming and live channels to Australians anytime, anywhere.
SBS is recognised as one of Australia’s most trusted news brands and the Australian podcast publisher of the year for three years running, while SBS On Demand is the top-rated streaming app in Australia in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
SBS is the sponsor of the Lifetime Community Service Medal.
