Australian Broadband Guarantee
Print this pageThe Australian Broadband Guarantee provides all Australian residential and small business premises with access to broadband services that reasonably compare to broadband services available in metropolitan areas (metro-comparable*).
The program offers financial assistance in the form of incentive payments to registered internet service providers to supply metro-comparable broadband services to residential and small business premises where such services would not otherwise be available.
The Australian Government has allocated $270.7 million over the next four years to fund the Australian Broadband Guarantee.
The Australian Broadband Guarantee complements the National Broadband Network that aims to provide high-speed broadband services to 98 per cent of Australian premises.
