WICEN NSW, is a communications support squad of the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association.

Due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) WICEN has cancelled participation in all but emergency activations, and moved training and meetings to its amateur and non-amateur radio resources, including DMR.

WICEN is running check-in nets twice daily, with details on the website.

Members are encouraged to take advantage of the free courses offered by the Office of Emergency Management, at: https://www.emtraining.nsw.gov.au/

For Facebook users, there is an official WICEN NSW page; and an informal national WICEN group.

WICEN ACT is part of the Canberra Region Amateur Radio Club. The club is moving all events, including lectures, online or on-air. For more info visit: http://www.crarc.ampr.org or the CRARC Facebook page.

WICEN Victoria - The weekly net is on each Tuesday at 8:30 pm, on 3.6 MHz. WICEN Victoria's website, which includes a couple of propagation indicators, is: http://vic.wicen.org.au

There is potential for car rallies to resume from August, supported by these two groups.
