Australia is one of the very few countries worldwide which allows UK Foundation and Intermediate licensees to operate while on a temporary visit of up to three months, with no formal permission required, in a similar manner to how UK Full licensees may operate under CEPT T/R 61-01. Privileges, including frequency allocations and power limits, may be very different from the UK, please confirm before operating.

Holders of a UK Foundation or Intermediate licence may also apply for an Australian Foundation or Standard licence, respectively, which is valid for a period of one year and cannot be renewed. Continued operation after the expiry of this licence entails passing Australian amateur radio exams, just like an unlicensed person.

Australia is a signatory of CEPT T/R 61-02 (HAREC), but since 2019 has refused to comply with the terms of the agreement. Holders of a non-Australian HAREC may apply for an Australian Advanced licence, which is valid only for a period of one year and cannot be renewed. Continued operation after the expiry of this licence entails passing Australian amateur radio exams, just like an unlicensed person.

For further information, please refer to the Australian Communications & Media Authority website.
