Australia’s immigration story is reaching a worldwide audience through its YouTube news channel – ImmiTV.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s (DIAC) ImmiTV channel showcases the work undertaken by staff and highlights events celebrated around Australia such as Harmony Day, Refugee Week, Volunteers Week and more.
ImmiTV channel has been offering audiences an engaging insight into DIAC’s programs and initiatives since it was first launched almost a year ago.
“We don’t expect our clips will necessarily attract millions and millions of viewers online, but we wouldn’t be opposed to them becoming so popular that they did,” the department’s national communications manager, Sandi Logan, said.
“YouTube offers us an opportunity to highlight many of the varied programs and services the department offers to the wider Australian community using material shot for training, corporate videos and presentations, then edited into short TV-style clips, to tell the story.
“Featured clips include the department’s role helping unite Congolese twins separated in a refugee camp, the recent visit to Melbourne by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and several successful migration stories,” Mr Logan said.
The ImmiTV channel is the sister site to the department’s online newsroom which posts broadcast quality audio, video and digital stills material for the media to download and use.
