ARDS has established a Yolngu Radio Service to meet the information access, self-learning and adult education needs of the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land. This service has been developed through the provision of grants obtained through various government departments and charitable donations. Click Here for a list of our sponsors. Yolngu Radio is now broadcasting on 1530 AM in Darwin and Palmerston and was launched in November 2006. Our coverage also extends to communities across the
north-east Arnhem Land Region. Yolngu Radio can also be received Australia wide via a free-to-air signal on the Aurora satellite platform. Click here for info on how to receive Yolngu Radio via satellite.
