The Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) was formed in 1910, and is the first and oldest national amateur radio society in the world. It represents the amateur radio operators of Australia in dealings with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the authority under the government of Australia that administers communications within and external to Australia. The organization is the national society representing Australia in the International Amateur Radio Union. The WIA publishes a monthly journal for its membership called "Amateur Radio".
Governance
On 16 May 2004, the Annual General Meeting adopted a new constitution that established a 'national' organisational structure (seven s with individual membership of persons in the national body) versus the former 'federal' arrangement (membership held in state Divisions, and the Divisions having membership of the Federal body).
Emergency communication
The Wireless Institute Civil & Emergency Network (WICEN) pronounced 'Wy-sen' trains and rehearses amateur radio operators for call-out in civil emergencies.
