SBS delivers Federal Election news to Australians in over 60 languages

28 March, 2025

Media releases

As Australia heads to the polls on 3 May, Australia's most trusted news brand* SBS is offering all Australians a single gateway to the latest Federal Election news and information in over 60 languages.

The SBS Election 2025 Portal, sbs.com.au/election2025, features a range of news coverage and expert analysis designed to inform all Australians about the candidates, the election process, and the issues concerning the nation.

This online collaboration brings together content from the network's diverse and award-winning news and current affairs teams across SBS News, SBS Audio and National Indigenous Television (NITV).

SBS and NITV's election coverage will include the voices and perspectives of Australia's multicultural and First Nations communities around the country, and provide information to those who may be new to the voting process in Australia and casting their votes for the first time.

The portal features news and information covering election developments, major issues and party policies; profiles of the party leaders and of key electorates; short videos; podcasts and audio explainers; interactive graphs and charts; as well as guides to the voting process.

Dedicated sections include:

A collection of election stories in over 60 languages.

SBS Election Explained, which answers key questions about the election process in multiple languages.

SBS Examines, with in-depth reporting and explainers on inaccurate or misleading information that may appear during the election campaign.

The latest political news from NITV.

SBS Director of News and Current Affairs, Mandi Wicks, said: SBS has a reputation for producing impartial and factual reporting and we will be applying the same forensic and balanced approach to the Federal Election. We will focus on policies not personalities and examine the core issues affecting Australians from all walks of life. We want our audience to go into the ballot box in five weeks feeling empowered to make an informed decision about who they want to govern our country for the next three years.

SBS Director of Audio and Language Content, David Hua, said: SBS's mission is to support Australia's multicultural communities throughout the election and be a key interface between politicians, policies and our culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Our language services will deliver information to communities about both the election process and the key issues affecting the nation, enabling them to participate fully in our democracy.''

NITV General Manager, Jason Oakley, said, NITV will be playing a crucial role in supporting all Australians to be informed and engage in the national conversation with a uniquely First Nations lens. We will be elevating voices from communities around the nation and sharing a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives delving into the issues that matter to mob and all Australians, and cutting through the noise.

SBS On Demand also has a dedicated Federal Election hub, sbs.com.au/ondemand/election-2025, which will host live streams, local news and current affairs programs, clips from SBS World News, NITV News, current affairs programs, audio programs in multiple languages, plus topically relevant documentaries, movies and series.
