Yes, English is the main language. Indeed it's considered a de facto official language, although legally there is no official language in Australia.

English is the main language in Australia.
However, it is a multicultural country and there are large communities speaking everything from Cantonese and Vietnamese to Dutch and Hindi. All schools teach a foreign language as well (I believe).

English is the only language widely and officially used in Australia, though there might not be any laws about it.
Some aboriginal languages may still be used in aborigine communities.
