A new national project which aims to harness the power of radio to help multicultural communities access information about aged care.


The Speak My Language program will broadcast more than 1000 personal stories and on-air discussions to help elderly people and their families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds understand the latest changes to the Australian aged care system.

Speak my language is a new language program that provides information about healthy ageing to culturally and linguistically diverse seniors and their carers.

Tune in and listen to your favourite ethnic radio stations as they speak to aged care experts and hear from families who share their stories and their secret to ageing well in Australia.

Join us as we broadcast live across Australia, in over 25 languages, across 80 ethnic radio stations in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT.
