ABC Asia offers in-language content developed by the ABC’s Asia Pacific Newsroom’s specialist Chinese-language and Bahasa Indonesia teams. Our target audience is tech-savvy, digital first residents across Asia, expatriate Australians living in the region and the Asian diaspora within Australia. 

The ABC first launched international broadcasting with the Australia Calling radio service in December 1939.  Today, the ABC delivers Australian stories and conversations to audiences around the world online, on mobile, via social media, and through traditional linear broadcast platforms ABC Australia television and ABC Radio Australia.
