Foreign Correspondent has been one of Australia's leading programs in its genre since its premiere, and has won several awards, including the Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism and White House News Photographers’ Association. Since its launch, the news teams have travelled more than 170 countries and produced more than 1,650 reports.

Correspondents on the program have received attention from other media outlets than the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Crikey covered Eric Campbell’s presence in Thailand after he became a subject of the country’s lèse majesté laws, which forbids criticism of the monarchy. The Sydney Morning Herald's website featured an article about foreign correspondent Sally Sara as she opened up about her experience in an Afghan military hospital.

There are currently 15 correspondents on Australian Foreign Correspondent. Their work can be found on several media platforms: TV, radio, online and on social media.

USA, Canada, Europe and Asia all have their own versions of the program.
