Yes the Emlid unit should work if you don't find the initialisation time. They are internally using Ublox so will even be able to be configured for the Australian SBAS. The AUSCORS link are the stations I use here in Canberra. All the Geoscience Australia owned ones are free to use. however a

The GA claim is bit exaggerated. An cell phone is unlikely to ever get 3cm as you just can't build a good GPS antenna in the form factor. Future self driving cars however will be designed to meet this specification with mass market RTK receivers (think sub $100) and correctly integrated antennas.

Hi All, I have 2 of these for RTK GNSS receivers: https://emlid.com/reachrs/ 1 ReachRS unit becomes the RTK static "base" and you needs a very accurate position measurement and good signal. To get the most accurate measurement I use my base and connect it to another base using an NTRIP network.

Our receivers work fine in Australia as I live in Canberra and work for the Swift Navigation engineering department. Using one of the free CORS stations here I can get 2cm positions from my car. Mind you the setup cost ~$2000. Australia has only moved 1.8m since 1994.

If you want to do RTK you can do it for less then $1000 now. The company I work for makes one of these lower cost options https://www.swiftnav.com. RTK enabled centimetre level positioning with a good $600 antenna. If you want to use the SBAS trial you need a receiver that allows you to select

If you use RTK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_kinematic you should get centimeter accuracy, but expect to pay $10k+. https://www.swiftnav.com seems like a cheaper option but not sure if it works in Australia and it not a consumer device, seems they just sell the boards. ...once you
