Welcome!
SEQUEST comprises volunteers with expertise in frontline emergency services and amateur and commercial radio operations.
We provide home and mobile radio monitoring services on the CB and Marine Radio networks, responding to public emergency calls and relaying critical information to the required agencies.
Currently, SEQUEST operates three home-based stations in Goodna and Jimboomba, with the Goodna station being a licensed Limited Coast Marine Rescue station.
The organisation provides crucial community updates via social media pages before, during, and after significant events in Southeast Queensland. Additionally, SEQUEST offers vital maritime safety services, including Marine traffic AIS monitoring. Volunteer-led educational services leverage diverse backgrounds in emergency, commercial, and amateur radio to teach proper communication procedures and skills.
SEQUEST is a proud member of the Australian Radio Communications Industry Association (ARCIA) in Public Safety, and its volunteers have been honoured with the state government's Emergency Volunteer Pin.

ACMA consults on remaking the CB class licence

The ACMA are consulting on remaking the Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2015 (CB Class Licence), which is due to sunset on 1 October 2025.

Their view is that the CB class licence is operating effectively.
We propose to remake it with minor changes.

We are also seeking views on the use of the 3 emergency call channels (HF CH 9, and UHF CHs 5 and 35) and the 2 data transmission channels used for telemetry and telecommand (UHF CHs 22 and 23).

They welcome your feedback by 5 pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 15 July 2025.
