6EBA (95.3 FM) is a multicultural broadcast radio station in Perth, Western Australia. It is Perth's only full-time, community owned and operated multilingual radio station that began broadcasting from its first studio in View Street, North Perth, Western Australia in 1990. Hosting 82 different languages, 6EBA's programming includes contributions from new and emerging communities such as the Karen people of Burma (Myanmar) and the South Sudanese Student's Hour to the older established ethnic communities such as Greek, Italian, Arabic and Slavic languages. These programs serve to keep ethnic communities in touch with what is happening at a local, national and international level. The morning programs are broadcast in the English language and feature programs produced and presented by young people looking to have a voice in the community whilst maintaining a multicultural flavour. Current English programs include:

"Shinobi Burger" - taking a look at comic books, graphic novels, gaming and music.
"Lost in Music" - A themed music program featuring a different genre/theme each week.
"Africa the Beautiful" - Showcasing the great cultural melange. African music, stories, recipes, interviews.
"Building Bridges" - A resource for new migrants broadcasting interviews with refugee and migrant service providers and providing a link to local events and education classes.
