We are undertaking an imaging survey with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to find gravitational lens candidates in flat-spectrum Parkes Catalogue radio sources. Flat-spectrum radio sources typically possess a single high brightness temperature nucleus of milliarcsecond size. Such sources, if lensed, will show multiply imaged nuclei with separations that are large compared to their milliarcsecond sizes. Our flat-spectrum sample was selected using the criteria α2.7/5.0 > −0.5 (S(v) ∝ vα), S2.7 > 0.34Jy and δ ≤ −20°, and comprises a total of 461 sources.
