Abstract: Along with the increase of Chinese immigrants in Australia, the Chinese-language media in Australia have been developed. Up to now, the Chinese-language media in Australia have played an important role in the establishment of the cultural identity and community consciousness of Australian Chinese, as well as in the harmonious life and development of oversea Chinese under the guidance of multi-culture policy. Meanwhile, they played an irreplaceable role in the cultural and social ties of new and old immigrants, and in inheriting and developing Chinese culture. In Australia, the Chinese-language media have become the most important channel to propagate Chinese language internationally. The cooperation between local media across China and the Chinese-language media in Australia provides realtime broadcasting of “Chinese voice” and consequently forms a stronger identity of hometown for oversea Chinese.
