Best Answer

No. Australia has no official language and no declared national language. English is the default language throughout the country.

According to the official CIA World factbook, English is spoken by 78.5% of Australia's population. Whilst not all Australians use slang, there is a lot of Australian slang incorporated into Australian English.
