Comments

The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council is a national peak body that advocates for and supports multilingual community radio broadcasting around Australia. It was established in the late 1980s.

Some material listed is in off-site storage. A variety of other recent NEMBC material is available online, for example, documentation on conferences, material related to the Youth Committee (e.g. "Handbook: A Guide to Involving Young People at Your Station", 2005) and the Women’s Committee ("Outstanding Migrant Women" – series of six interviews, 2007).
