2024 Regional Telecommunications Review

Have your say!

The Regional Telecommunications Review occurs every 3 years and is an opportunity to examine the existing and future telecommunication needs in regional, rural and remote communities across Australia.

We have experienced many problems in the Toowoomba region lately. I’ll be making representations to the Government – tell me about your experience below.

After six years of Rudd/Gillard/Rudd Labor, only 51,000 users were connected to the NBN, with Labor paying $6 billion for the NBN to pass just 3% of Australian premises.

The last Labor Government didn’t fix a single black spot either, or deliver a single tower. The Coalition Government funded more than 1,300 mobile base stations across Australia.

The Coalition cleaned up Labor’s NBN mess. We invested in regional communities.

The NBN is now available to over 12 million homes and businesses – or more than 99% of Australian premises. It has over 8.4 million active connections.

But there is more work to do. We need a telecommunications policy that:

  • long term approach to regional digital infrastructure and skills
  • invest in regional connectivity
  • trial emerging connectivity technologies
  • enhance NBN Co’s regional fixed wireless and Sky Muster services
  • hold telco’s to account, by implementing and enforcing performance and reliability standards
  • improve consumer information about mobile services including coverage and performance
  • work with local councils and business to identify and address mobile black spots
