Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2025

Summary

Australia's class licence for short-range transmitters, in force from 1 October 2025, with its bands for auditory assistance transmitters.

Key findings

• Authorises auditory assistance transmitters at 3.155-3.4 MHz on four carriers at up to 60 µW EIRP, and at 41-42 MHz and 43-44 MHz on five carriers each at up to 1.3 mW EIRP.
• Authorises wireless audio transmitters and auditory assistance transmitters at 88-108 MHz at up to 10 µW EIRP, frequency modulated with a bandwidth of no more than 180 kHz, and not inside the licence area of a radio broadcasting service using the same channel.
• Authorises transmitters of any kind at up to 100 mW EIRP in several bands, including 150.7875-152.49375 MHz and 173.29375-174 MHz, and wireless audio transmitters at 174-230 MHz at up to 50 mW EIRP outside the coverage area of a broadcaster on that channel.
• Authorises transmitters of any kind at up to 3 mW EIRP in 915-928 MHz and 10 mW in 2400-2483.5 MHz, and frequency-hopping or digitally modulated transmitters at up to 1 W in 915-928 MHz and 500 mW or 4 W in 2400-2483.5 MHz, depending on the conditions attached to each entry.
• States that a receiver tuned to a class-licensed transmitter gets no protection from interference caused by other devices, and that class-licensed devices get no protection from industrial, scientific and medical equipment in bands including 918-926 MHz and 2400-2500 MHz.

Limits

Sets bands and power only: nothing on audio quality, coverage or receivers. It names auditory assistance transmitters only in the low-power entries; which entry a given venue product uses is for its maker to state. Dated 4 September 2025, registered 5 September 2025, in force from 1 October 2025, replacing the 2015 class licence.
