History of Amateur Radio Victoria
Formed in 1911, it continues to play an important role in amateur radio affairs. Since the nationalisation of the Wireless Institute of Australia, it is now more focussed on state matters, but remains committed constitutionally and through its membership of the WIA to the continued access to radio spectrum by its members.

It has a proud history of advocacy including participation in government inquiries including those on television and radio broadcasting and also a review into the response of the Ash Wednesday disaster and discussions concerning municipal planning laws.

Helping to grow the hobby of amateur radio and increasing positive public awareness of it remains among its major goals. 40G Victory Blvd
