Yes and No.
Both are call signs for fire trucks to call in to when turning out to incidents depending on what brigade/station they are. They both are located in the same location and operated usually by a single operator.
I believe however in summer when it's busy they can have 2 different operators operating the 2 call signs. But principally they are the same.

I've never looked in the SES section. Thanks for the heads up!
I split these posts from the FESA Frequencies thread. Missing are two posts as they didn't transfer through. Sorry about that! Please see below:

Another minor detail is that 6AR and 6IP operate on different frequencies. If I recall correctly, you should use the callsign that applies to that channel.
24, 25, 30, 80 - 6IP
51, 52, 55, 57, 58 - 6AR
When they do split the channels, you'll usually be requested to change to the appropriate channel when responding, depending on which channels the incident is being controlled from. eg responding to a Bush Fire incident outside Gazetted area, "change to 6IP and call in"
