The Portuguese Radio is recognized for its many contributions to the community in the form of assistance to those in need by organizing telethons and events to fundraise when necessary.

The contribution and support from the Portuguese radio listeners has been enormous and we thank them for that.

Many have benefited from  such events, we at the Portuguese radio not only take on the challenge to be entertaining and informative, but also to unite our community and it's in times like these that the community really come together to help.

Australia's Portuguese-speaking community is estimated to number around 65,000 and comes principally from seven countries: the five African nations which have Portuguese as their official language known as the PALOP group, Portugal itself, Brazil, Timor-Leste and France.

The PALOP group includes Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, the Cape Verde group of islands and the island nation of Saint Tome and Prince.

A significant proportion of the community is from East Timor and many Portuguese-speakers are Australian-born. By far, most of Australia's Portuguese-speakers live in Sydney. The Australian Portuguese-speaking community is young compared with other migrant groups. Recent statistics show most are under 40.

Their distribution in Australia involves approx. 60% in New South Wales, 18% in Victoria,15% in Western Australia, 4% in Queensland, 3% in South Australia, 1.5% in the Australian Capital Territory , 1.2 % in the Northern Territory and 0.1% in Tasmania.

In New South Wales the main areas of settlement are in Sydney and Wollongong.

In the remaining States and Territories special reference should be made to the communities established in Melbourne (Victoria) and in Perth/Fremantle (Western Australia).
