2RPH is an Australian radio reading service that reads newspapers and magazines for the benefit of those who have difficulties reading for themselves.[1] It is the Sydney station of the RPH Network.[2]

The 2RPH Sydney and 3RPH Melbourne were available free to air (no smartcard required) on the Optus Aurora radio platform via Optus C1 before the switch over to the more restrictive VAST platform. Now only the 3RPH Melbourne service is the only RPH service available free-to-air on Optus C1.
