The company was established in 2009 by the Commonwealth of Australia as a Government Business Enterprise (GBE) with a clear direction – to design, build and operate a wholesale broadband access network for Australia.  

nbn’s purpose is to lift the digital capability of Australia.  We aim to achieve this by:  

Delivering reliable, fast, resilient and secure broadband over our wholesale access network.

Working collaboratively with internet retailers to deliver excellent customer experience, reduce cost and drive industry efficiency and sustainability  

Providing cashflow to invest in our network, the community, and our people to achieve revenue growth and meet customer data demand  

Making a positive impact for customers, communities and country, achieving high standards for customer experience, delivering government policy by being a sustainable, ethical, and well-governed asset owner, and   

Continuing to make nbn a great place to work, investing in our people’s development and capabilities. 

 The high-speed broadband enabled by the nbn network supports the way Australians work, learn, access health and other services and connect with family and friends.  

We’re a vital link in the chain that delivers broadband across the country – building, upgrading and maintaining our network – and working with internet retailers to make the customer experience the best it can be.
