We present four epochs of observations of the Galactic X-ray binary SS433 using the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). These observations, taken on 4 February, 29 February, 23 March and 27 June 2000, at four frequencies ranging from 1-9 Ghz, are used to monitor the circular polarised emission from the source. We obtain circular polarisation spectra for the first three epochs with spectral indices α, (mc~να), equal to 0.07+/-0.10, -1.07+/-0.09 and -0.18+/-0.05 and also observe a sign change in Stokes V. This change of handedness may indicate a long-term restructuring of the magnetic field.
