The Department of Communications and the Arts released the Radiocommunications Bill 2017 and an extensive package of information on its website late in May.

To develop a comprehensive response to the government’s draft radiocommunications legislation, the WIA is calling for input from the radio amateur community – including anyone with an interest in the hobby, but not yet licensed.
