About 3CR 855 AM

3CR is Melbourne’s fiercely independent community radio station, amplifying voices and stories that are often under‑represented in mainstream media. Programming spans grassroots news and current affairs, union and workplace issues, environmental advocacy, First Nations perspectives, women’s and LGBTQIA+ programs, and multilingual shows that reflect the city’s diversity. The station also highlights local arts, culture and activism, with interviews, listings and campaign information.

Built by volunteers and community organisations, 3CR provides training and access so new broadcasters can develop skills and contribute to public debate. Its schedule is guided by social justice values and a commitment to media made by and for communities, featuring in‑depth discussions alongside music chosen by specialist presenters. Listeners can stream live to stay connected to campaigns, events and everyday conversations shaping Melbourne’s civic life.
