If you are interested in joining Radio Rescue, complete the Membership Application form below and one of our volunteers will contact you once it has been processed. If you have questions regarding membership, see our Membership FAQ page first.
Membership is currently available to anyone in Australia 16 years or older. Current membership fees are:
- Full member (18yrs+): $20/year
- Concession/student (18yrs+): $15/year
- Junior member (16-18yrs): $15/year
- Family of member: $5 off relevant above fee
Membership fees will be discussed when you are contacted by the membership team. If necessary they can be paid off in installments, or even waived if circumstances are especially difficult, so please do not allow financial hardship prevent you from joining!
Membership is also available in three membership types:
- Monitor – this is the frontline of RREC, performing monitoring of CB emergency channels and other operational activities. Monitors must complete mandatory training and lodge regular reports for calls and time spent performing duties. A requirement for this category is a base and/or mobile CB station, or a willingness to obtain and set-up CB equipment (minimum UHF CB.)
- Supporter – these are members that may not necessarily wish to perform monitoring but still want to support RREC. They can still help during major events or emergencies in non-operational roles if they wish (e.g. member welfare – food, drinks, etc., help with carparking).
- Junior Member – for those aged between 16 and 18 years. Junior members can train as Monitors and perform limited operational duties if they wish.
