The amateur class licence commenced on 19 February 2024. Find out about the class licence, accredited assessors, and revised qualification and call sign arrangements.

You will not receive a renewal notice for a non-assigned amateur licence.  As we have moved to class licensing arrangements, we can no longer renew non-assigned amateur licences. Under the amateur class licence, a qualified person with a suitable call sign may operate an amateur station. Non-assigned amateur licence holders were sent a confirmation letter that confirms their highest qualification and call sign/s.
