The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC) is that body that represents ethnic community broadcasters across Australia.
The ‘Value Our Voices’ funding campaign was launched in July 2007. The campaign aims to have funding restored in the areas of content development and training for volunteer broadcasters and improved management of community radio and television stations across Australia.
