Emergency & Safety of Life Communications
Making A Difference
Services we provide to the community
Land Radio Monitoring Services
Our volunteers maintain a listening service for emergency and safety-related calls on the Citizen Band radio network. Our radio operators then notify the appropriate services or agencies, such as emergency or utility services, that must respond to reported incidents. Additionally, we offer radio equipment checks and weather updates upon request. Contact us on UHF CB channel 35. Our terrestrial monitoring stations are situated in Goodna and Jimboomba (as needed).
Community Engagement
Our organisation conducts public displays and information booths at local community events. We provide training for general and commercial radio users, covering proper radio use and basic communication protocols. Our volunteers are eager to offer guidance and training on radio communications for events and private. We also possess a diverse skill set in programming and troubleshooting radio-related issues
Marine Radio Monitoring Services
Our volunteers maintain a listening watch for emergency and life-safety calls along the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers, extending to Moreton Bay. We also offer radio equipment checks and weather updates upon request. We have four dedicated AIS receiving stations located at Shorncliffe, Goodna, Southport, and South Bank. These stations collect vessel information, which we display on the MarineTraffic live map, covering Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast, Northern NSW, and the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers. To contact us, reach out on VHF Marine 16. Our marine-based monitoring station is positioned at Goodna.
