Join 3CR from 9am – 4pm on Thursday 26 January for our annual Invasion Day broadcast.

26 January signifies the beginning of invasion, colonisation, and displacement, and the start of a powerful movement of First Nations resistance and protest that is ongoing to this day. 3CR's First Nations broadcast team will be bringing you Blak and deadly music, and the voices of grassroots activists across the continent. Discussing genocide, sovereignty, treaty, pay the rent, deaths in custody, truth and justice, and the lore of the land … 

There’ll be great Summer Programming content on air over the festive season, but our offices will be closed from midday Friday 23 December and re-open Tuesday 3 January. Throughout January 2023 we’ll be open with reduced hours and days. The station will be open 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday, call us on 03 9419 8377 or connect with us online via our socials and website. We hope that all our listeners and supporters enjoy a break and we look forward to hearing from you in 2023!
