At Hepburn Radio, we bring the community together through captivating stories, local discussion and eclectic music – ad free! Discover our diverse programs and presenters that keep you informed and entertained. Entirely run by volunteers, we invite you to join a passionate community that thrives on connection and creativity.

Discover the heartbeat of our community. Your voice, our mission.

Hepburn Radio has been the voice of Daylesford and Hepburn Shire since our launch, bringing the community together through music and conversation. We were founded by a small group of locals interested in furthering the development of a community radio station for the Hepburn Shire area of Victoria.

We’re passionate about sharing local stories, supporting local artists and businesses, and informing the community with news and local events. 

Our mission is to create a welcoming space where everyone can tune in, share and be heard.  Join us on this journey and let’s keep the community spirit thriving!

We are a registered non-profit Incorporated Association and members of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA).

Our Philosophy is “By the community, for the community”.
