Indigenous community radio stations serve a vital function for their communities – primarily in the provision of local news, community connection, and information about public health initiatives and emergency announcements during natural disasters. However, Indigenous community radio also provides crucial services in terms of language maintenance, along with broader content about Indigenous politics, community achievements, Indigenous music and cultural activities. The power of Indigenous radio reaches remote areas, providing often-isolated communities with access to programming in language and serving as a voice that promotes cultures, traditions and belief systems; the sector also has a strong footprint in urban areas, where the majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people now live.
