On the 1st of June 1956, amateurs resident in the ACT were issued with VK1 prefixes to their call signs.
In 1957 The Canberra Radio Club became the Canberra Radio Society.
The VK1 Division of the WIA was formed in 1973 and following the formation of the National WIA in May 2004 the VK1 Division was dissolved to become the Canberra Region Amateur Radio Club Inc.
