2RPH Radio 2RPH Fundraiser 2025
https://www.2rph.org.au/donate From 11pm to 6am 2RPH broadcasts a range of programs from the BBC.

2RPH Radio for the Print Handicapped of NSW has been broadcasting 24/7 across Sydney since April 1983. Our amazing team of volunteers prepare, produce and present all the programs between 6am and 11pm daily. Our services are aimed at the 600,000+ Sydneysiders who have difficulty seeing, handling, or understanding printed material, including people with impaired vision, or physical disabilities cau

sed by strokes, arthritis, cerebral palsy, etc. Without the 2RPH reading service, our listeners wouldn’t have access to a wide range of vital information - from the latest reports in daily newspapers, magazines and books, to news from government and NGOs about services that might be useful. Many 2RPH listeners hail from Sydney communities with non-English speaking backgrounds. Our broadcasts are used as a teaching aid by the Adult Migrant Education Service (AMES) which encourages students to learn English by following our readings in the original texts. Hospitals and Aged Care residences also broadcast 2RPH programs through their 'in-house' systems and of course commuters access us via 1224 AM. The transmitter, at Prospect, has the same signal strength as the other capital city AM commercial stations.

Our Story

What is Radio 2RPH? Radio for the Print Handicapped of NSW has been broadcasting in Sydney since April 1983 and from Glebe since May 2000. The station is on air 24 hours each day. The three studios and a production suite are in operation from 6am to 11pm each day. Programs from the BBC are broadcast from 11pm to 6am. Volunteers prepare, produce and present all the programs. Items from the day’s newspapers are read live by volunteers. There are more than 600,000 people in Sydney who have difficulty seeing, handling, or understanding printed material. They include people with impaired vision, or physical disabilities caused by strokes, arthritis, cerebral palsy, etc. Without a radio reading service, they wouldn’t be able to access a wide range of information of vital importance to them in their daily lives. 2RPH provides these people with the opportunity to know what’s in the daily newspapers or in magazines and books – and they can access all this information simply by switching on their radio. Listeners also include people from a non-English speaking background. The Adult Migrant Education Service (AMES) uses 2RPH broadcasts as a teaching aid, so by announcing the page of the paper on which an item appears, students learning English can follow the item being read. Also, many people listen to 1224 AM while they are driving, or working at home or at business. Some hospitals and nursing homes broadcast 2RPHprograms through their 'in-house' systems. The transmitter, at Prospect, has the same signal strength as the other capital city AM commercial stations.
