VKS737 is an Australian HF radio communications network; it is recognized formally as a public benevolent organization. Founded in 1992, the network's primary role is to provide reliable and effective radio communication opportunities for remote area travelers, on the road, at sea, or in the air. A number of base stations around Australia run daily scheduled sessions for contact with members. These 'skeds', and a comprehensive messaging system are provided by a team of volunteer staff members. A number of salaried staff and other volunteers carry out administrative duties at a head office, in South Australia.

All network activity involving both bases and members is subject to formal licensing by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
