Frequencies The RFDS recommends all travellers to remote areas investigate the possibility of obtaining and using an HF radio.
This list was acurate at the time of printing How to contact the RFDS using the Emergency Call Facility An emergency call is when you may need medical assistance from an RFDS Doctor * Select the appropriate frequency for the Base you wish to contact, and then transmit the Emergency call by pushing and holding the Emergency Call button on the radio for at least 20 seconds. Newer model radios have a timer that allows you to press the button for a few seconds and then let go and the timer will activate for a period of time. * The RFDS system will respond within a minute if our equipment has detected the call. It takes our system 10 seconds of continuous emergency tone monitoring before it activates. * If you do not get a response, select another frequency and try again. * Once you get a response, there is no need for further activations of the Emergency Call button.
