The Chinese News and Media Group is one of Australia’s most established media organizations, founded in 1986 as a premier media brand serving Australia’s Chinese community. Based on company materials, it claims to be “Australia’s most wide-reaching and multi-dimensional media group,” operating across print, digital, and social media platforms in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The group publishes major Chinese-language newspapers including Sydney Chinese Daily (澳洲日報), Melbourne Chinese Daily (墨爾本日報), and Queensland Chinese Daily (昆士蘭日報), alongside specialized property publications like Chinese Sydney Property Weekly (華聲地產), Chinese Sydney Property Weekly (澳華地產), and Chinese Queensland Property Weekly (昆士蘭地產). Their digital presence includes the news portal 1688.com.au, described as “Australia’s longest-running and most widely visited Chinese news website,” the real estate website ozhome.com.au, and the “1688 Australia” news app. The company has expanded into social media with the WeChat public account “Australia Fresh News” (澳洲新鮮事), Facebook page “1688 Australia News,” and Weibo account “Australia News Information.” According to company materials, for nearly 30 years the group has been “dedicated to providing timely and comprehensive reporting of local and international news” while helping Chinese Australians “better understand Australia and integrate into society.”
