3RPH is a community radio station owned and operated by Vision Australia as part of the Vision Australia Radio network. The station broadcasts a radio reading service to Melbourne, Victoria, with repeater services in Warragul and Warrnambool, Victoria.

The station had its origins in 1974, when the Radio for the Blind Committee began broadcasting a half-hour program on ABC radio and a 45-minute program on 3CR in Melbourne.[2]

The station was then licensed to commence programming on its own frequency, broadcasting from 12 December 1982 at 1705 kHz[3][4][5]

In 1983 the station moved its signal to 1629 kHz,[6] before moving to 1179 kHz, vacated by 3KZ, in 1990. The switch to 1179 also led to the station expanding to 24-hour programming.[2]

On 1 July 2026, 3RPH ceased AM radio transmission from 1179 kHz, continuing broadcast on DAB+.[7]

3RPH is also a member of Radio Print Handicapped Network and a BBC World Service partner station.[8][9]
