We want to hear from you as part of the 2024 Regional Telecommunications Review.

The Review is undertaken every 3 years and is an opportunity for people living and working in regional, rural and remote areas of Australia to share their views and experiences using telecommunications services.

The Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee has commenced its consultation across Australia, and will be visiting the following locations:

Braidwood

The Review is seeking a wide range of views and experiences to help inform findings and recommendations. The Review Committee members are particularly interested in hearing how emerging technologies could improve connectivity; the needs of First Nations’ communities; ways telecommunications can support regional development; and the suitability of telecommunications during emergency situations.

The Committee is traveling around the country to regional and remote areas to hear from communities and local businesses. If you can’t make a stakeholder consultation, you can have your say online until 31 July 2024.

Following the completion of consultations, a report on the findings and recommendations will be presented to the Government by December 2024.
