It depends on what you mean. There are the aboriginal languages, (aboriginal being the native Australians as opposed to the settlers.)) which could be classified as a 'true' Australian language. 78% of the population speak English as a first language, although we do have our own slang as with any country. There are plenty of websites with examples of Australian slang.
