Australian culture is generally relaxed and laid back. Aussies often greet their friends and even people they don't know by saying "G'day" or "Ow ya goin mate".
I know for certain from being there several times that "Mate" is a colloquial word for friend. This would be similar to American terms like - man, dude, or buddy.
Mate is used to reference a man but you’ll even hear some Australian women using this word.

I VPN into Australia every night and get a kick out of Tipping Point imported from the UK and then their 4pm news followed by WWTBAM is entertaining AF. Like McAfee I caught the footy fever last summer. And then the very trashy Aussie version of MAFS. Seems like mate can be used for both sexs in a platonic relationship.
For some reason I still chuckle over "crackin'" in the place of "great" and with this vaccine, "jab" in place of "shot". Both sound ridiculously stupid.
