Bringing superfast broadband to you
Improving our lives
Superfast broadband brings better access to a digital lifestyle.
- Students can use the internet to access online lectures and to download education materials.
- Families and friends can catch up using web cams and share video files and digital photos.
- Everyone will have faster access to online services — helping with online transactions, doing business from home and accessing social activities and entertainment.
Households
The new National Broadband Network company will improve competition by changing the telecommunications marketplace. Consumers will have greater choice, access to more innovative services and opportunities to save time and money by using online services.
Health
The new network will improve access to medical services and enable continued improvements in e‑health and tele‑health. Use of superfast broadband services will also improve the efficiency of health systems and processes.
Education
Superfast broadband will improve access to online learning resources and conferencing facilities. A key part of the Government's Digital Education Revolution is supporting the roll‑out of fibre links to Australian schools.
The new network will be complemented by Government initiatives such as the Vocational Education Broadband Network which will provide a high‑speed broadband network for the Australian training system. This will increase flexibility in the place and pace of learning.
