I Australien har statsradiofonien et Charter of the Corporation, hvori der overordnet står: “Mediehusets funktion er at tilvejebringe (...) udsendelser som (...) afspejler den kulturelle mangfoldighed i det australske samfund.”

Til at sikre dette har man oprettet The Special Broadcasting Service, SBS, som er Australiens flerkulturelle public service broadcaster. Mediehusets tv-kanal ses af syv millioner australiere om ugen.

 

SBS formål er at “øge bevidstheden om det bidrag, som en mangfoldighed af kulturer yder til den fortsatte udvikling af det australske samfund.”

 

“SBS is the voice and the vision of multicultural Australia. SBS was established to give voice and exposure to multicultural Australia; to define, foster and celebrate Australia's cultural diversity in accordance with our Charter obligation to "provide multilingual and multicultural radio and television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia's multicultural society".
