In Australia's diverse multicultural society, the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) occupies a unique place in the Australian media world.
SBS was founded on the belief that all Australians, regardless of geography, age, cultural background, or language skills, should have access to high quality, independent, culturally-relevant Australian media, and be able to participate in public life.
SBS encourages people to embrace, feel, respect, and enjoy a diverse world as well as strengthening social bonds.
In June 1975, the Australian Government established 2EA radio stations in Sydney and 3EA in Melbourne. The purpose was to inform people from non-English speaking backgrounds about the new National Health Scheme Medibank.

Keeping in view their needs, SBS Bangla radio programs are broadcast two days a week - every Monday and Saturday from 6 pm to 7 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
