About Renewal Of Licences

On 19th February 2024 the ACMA removed the requirement for persons to hold individual apparatus licence(s). Individual licences have been replaced by a common amateur Class Licence. Annual renewal of licence(s) and payment of fees no longer applies.

How To Renew Your Licence

Callsigns
From 19th February 2024 the ACMA issues amateur callsigns. More information can be found on the ACMA website. Link

Callsigns are issued on an ongoing basis. Every five years the ACMA will contact callsign holder via a person's preferred method on contact with the ACMA; email or postal address, seeking confirmation of on-going use. It is important to keep your contact details up to date, as when the ACMA contacts you in regard to your callsign(s) and receives no response after a period of time, they may deem these available for re-allocation.

Special and Contest Callsigns

These are administered by the ACMA. Refer to the ACMA website for further information on the application process and fees involved.
