Are now I understand. In Australia our ATCs have a responsibility for VFR aircraft in E and G when in survailance coverage . That's why the ATC frequency boundaries are shown!
That's great. Airservices can be sued by the family of a VFR pilot if involved in a mid air and the ATC did not call the pilot.
Nothing like it anywhere in the world but great for Aussie VFR pilots- lousy for Aussie ATCs and their employer, Airservices. Must have huge extra insurance costs .
Amazing Civil Air allows this. Not protecting the interest of its members. In other countries that's called class D airspace and it is adequately manned.
