OCR FM as a community radio serves as a platform for local voices, issues, and culture, offering an alternative to commercial and state-sponsored radio. Its primary purpose is to empower communities by providing a space for diverse perspectives, fostering participation, and promoting local identity and grassroots development. Unlike commercial stations driven by profit or state-sponsored ones reflecting government agendas, OCR FM is non-profit, volunteer-driven, and focused on serving the specific needs of our communities in and around Colac.

OCR FM provides so much support for our community, particularly our volunteer community events.
As one of the coordinators of the Colac Otway Arts Trail, OCR has provided us with interview and media coverage to support our event. As a volunteer organisation who have to find funding to run this event this is so helpful for the promotion of our event. OCR FM also promotes our local Community Arts Space The Makers Space, to encourage new membership and to share our story.
OCR FM is seen at so many communityevents across our region, from Kana to the football, as well as presenting playing and engaging local musicians, technicians and people who wish to learn the art of radio. It is a great training ground for our youth who have very little access to this kind of opportunity in our shire.
