The Radio Communications Act is concerned with the regulating the use of the radio frequency spectrum within Australia. Legislation, Standards and Codes may be linked to one or more of the University's compliance frameworks either as the driver of the requirements, or as a component of the framework. The relevant frameworks are listed below.Radiocommunications Act 1992 (Cth) - Level 4
A fundamental principal of the Act is that the operation of all radio transmitters (<470 Terahertz, just under infra red) must be authorised by a telecommunications licence. This is independent of the Telecommunications Act 1997, where a carrier licence or nominated carrier licence is required. This Act has relevance for the University as the operator of a Radio Station.
