The National Broadband Network will deliver superfast broadband to Australian homes and workplaces. We are also committed to initiatives that enhance broadband services for remote areas and Indigenous communities.

We work to increase awareness and education and undertake research and consultation to inform policy and deliver programs that better protect Australian internet users.

We are responsible for coordinating and overseeing Australia’s smooth transition from analog to digital free-to-air television between 2010 and 2013, ensuring that people in metropolitan, regional and remote areas of the country are prepared for the transition.

We contribute to a number of initiatives to ensure Australians can enjoy the full benefit of a vibrant broadcasting sector that delivers high quality radio and television services.

We work to further develop Australia’s infrastructure, confidence, skills and regulatory settings so that all Australians can take full advantage of economic, educational and social opportunities offered by the digital economy.

We will improve communication services for all Australians including those living and working in regional, rural and remote Australia.

We provide advice to the Australian Government on postal policy and legislation and on issues affecting the postal industry.
