RPH Australia is a network of broadcast radio stations in Australian state capital cities and some major country urban centres that serve people who, for any reason, are unable to access printed material.
On 23 July1978 the Minister for Post and Telecommunications announced: "The establishment of a special radio communications service for the blind and other people with reading difficulties."
Initially using marine band frequencies, stations in Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart were operating until a review bu government. By 1984/85 RPH services were operating in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Hobart. After another review, the specialised stations of the service transferred to normal broadcast band frequencies in 1990 and 1991.
Radio 1RPH 1125 kHz is a volunteer manned AM band radio broadcast station in the Australian Capital Territory.
Radio 1RPH is a member of the RadioPrintHandicappedNetwork.
Its catch-phrases are, Your information station and Turning print into sound, and it is intended to serve all those who are, for any reason, handicapped from reading printed material.
