Clever Networks

The $118.6 million Clever Networks program is enabling the rollout of broadband infrastructure and services to regional, rural and remote areas of Australia.

The Clever Networks program has two distinct roles delivering innovative services and broadband development.

Innovative Services Delivery—this element co-funds 26 projects that deliver improved services in the priority sectors of health, education, government and community services and emergency services.

During 2008-09, Building on Broadband projects will leverage suitable successful Innovative Services Delivery initiatives by extending their results into other jurisdictions and service sectors.

Broadband Development Network—this element co-funds broadband project managers for each state and 16 project officers across Australia to assist in improving skills, capabilities and business practices in underserved communities.

Clever Networks is unique and genuinely demonstrates Commonwealth and state/territory collaboration in the delivery of essential government services. Project funding of $275 million includes the Commonwealth's $105 million contribution with the remainder being provided by project partners from state and territory governments, and other service provider organisations and partners.
