Australia has a large and diverse community broadcasting sector, with 460 independent community owned and operated broadcasting services including radio and television stations and remote indigenous services. Recent research indicates 45% of Australians listen to community radio each month. An independent federal funding mechanism, the Community Broadcasting Foundation, is in place to support community broadcasting. The CBF has over 20 targeted granting programs, each supporting a different aspect of community broadcasting, including support for university, ethnic, indigenous, and Radio for the Print Handicapped (RPH) services.
