A new Australian amateur radio representative body has been formed - The Radio Amateur Society of Australia (RASA).

RASA will listen to the needs and concerns of all amateurs and will make submissions to the regulator on their behalf.

RASA is a streamlined organisation focused on representation. The group will be using modern technology to manage operations and communications with members.

Membership is free for the first 12 months. There is no obligation to renew in the second year.

The Radio Amateur Society of Australia intends to open lines of communication with as many Australian Radio Amateurs and Clubs as possible to draw from their knowledge and experience.

Membership growth has been strong, with many well known and influential VK amateurs joining RASA.
