Note that all states have access (either direct or via patching) to each other’s HF frequencies and in many cases these are shared. These frequencies are not used much, but are allocated and used for state-to-state communications. Victoria Police used HF to communicate with Tasmania Police Command from Essendon Airport (Air Wing Base, Melbourne) to the Hobart VKG centre. HF Channel 5 is used by all states and is listed at the ACA database as ‘Australia Wide Polcie Communications (and each state contributes to a central fund for HF network maintenance, so it does exist, but gets seldom use)
Please do not email me telling me you can’t hear anything. These frequencies are used, at best, once a year and therefore you have to be a dedicated police monitor to ever hear anything. (But they would be heavily used, if say, a September 11th Twin Towers attack happened here, so they are worth knowing of).
