Internationally the WIA is the recognized
spokesman for all Australian amateurs
and representatives attend regional meetings
of the IARU and of the World Radio Conferences,
where allocation of the whole frequency spectrum is decided.

This has paid dividends as shown by the acquistion of the 10, 18, 24MHz bands
and the retention of existing bands.
WIA representation played a major role in these successes.
Such work is on-going and entirely financed by members' subscriptions
