I just read/checked both NSW and Vic boating handbooks, the requirement is the same : a VHF radio is required if more than 2 nautical miles from the coast.
Hope that helps ?

I always believed they were required for anything other than protected waters.
Can any one confirm current rules as they no longer seem to be listed as a requirement.
Just got a 4.75 side console and trying to confirm.

Not a "requirement" in Qld according to this:

Just keep in mind if you use the Tweed, NSW rules apply, and it IS a requirement if more than 2 nautical miles offshore.

Some people are under the assumption the 2nm rule applies to the outlet u leave from too but its actually 2nm from land
