Hi Ron,
I think Swinburne and Sydney universities fund the radio telescope which is actually at Molongolo in NSW near Canberra and was upgraded about 5 years ago in search of FRBs. The funding however from at least one of the universities seems to be drying up despite some success.
Perhaps the SKA is sucking up all the funding in that area
