Every Australian, regardless of where they live or work, deserves access to reliable and modern telecommunications services to actively participate in today’s digital society.
Telecommunications carriers often need to deploy or upgrade telecommunications infrastructure and facilities to meet connectivity demands across the country. As our communities grow and technology evolves, so too does the need to expand networks to ensure continued access to these services.
There are laws in place encouraging telecommunications carriers to roll out these networks and install facilities in a nationally consistent way, and in accordance with good engineering practices. This is called the carriers’ powers and immunities framework, and you can find out more about telecommunications carriers’ obligations under the framework at the link below.
Whether you are a telecommunications carrier, a council, landowner or member of the community, find out what you need to know about the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure, including the work we are doing to improve mobile coverage and connectivity across Australia, and where to go for advice when you need it.
