Organizations Making a Difference
In a World of 7 Billion

Seven Billion Stories and counting...

The Special Broadcasting Service (Sydney, Australia) was founded on the belief that all Australians, regardless of geography, age, cultural background or language skills should have access to high quality, independent, culturally-relevant Australian media.

Through SBS Radio, SBS Television and SBS Online, we tell the stories of humankind in more languages than any other broadcaster in the world; at last count, more than 68 languages on radio, more than 60 on television and more than 50 online.

Australia's cultural and creative identity is expansive, shaped by all Australians regardless of their origin or language. SBS is driven by a Charter that demands we "provide multilingual and multicultural radio and television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia's multicultural society.

The SBS Our charter ensures a commitment to our audience and to making a difference; beyond that, our passion and our drive, our curiosity and creativity force us to think past the mundane into ground-breaking ideas, and quality programs and services that educate, inform and entertain and that explore and connect diverse cultures and perspectives.

SBS also stands for Six Billion Stories and counting... and on 31 October, we embrace the world’s increasing population with a change in our tagline to Seven Billion Stories and counting….to celebrate 7 billion people on this planet – and even more stories for us to tell.
