2 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2008–09 | FOREWORD FROM THE MINISTER FOR SPORT

Foreword from the Minister for Sport

The Hon Kate Ellis MP Minister for Early Childhood Education, Child Care and Youth Minister for Sport

Across the country, in our cities and regional areas, Australians of all ages enjoy swimming, both as a recreational pursuit and as a competitive sport.

Swimming is a part of our national character—a strong part of our culture and of course our international sporting success.

Australia’s performance at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing was outstanding. ’s three gold medals and three world records and Matthew Cowdrey’s five gold medals put them in a class that very few swimmers have been.

The Australian Government is proud to be a strong partner with Swimming Australia in not only achieving success in our elite pools but also in supporting swimming at a grassroots level.

In 2008-09 the Australian Government, through the Australian Sports Commission, provided Swimming Australia with funding of $6.5 million for the development of the sport and its continued enhancement at the grassroots and elite levels, including an allocation of more than $1.4 million for the Australian Institute of Sport Swimming program.

In addition, the Commission also provided direct support of over $644,000 to targeted able-bodied athletes and athletes with disability under the Australian Government Sports Training Grant to assist in their preparation for elite international competition.

In February 2009 the Australian Sports Commission provided $1.7 million in additional funding to help support Australia’s swimming success.

There are a number of challenges facing , and the Government has undertaken to investigate the reforms required to ensure that Australia’s sporting system remains prepared for the challenges of the future, at both the elite and grassroots.

On behalf of the Australian Government, I look forward to working with Swimming Australia in the future for the betterment of Australian sport.

Message from Telstra

Australians have a special relationship with water. While we sometimes lament its scarcity or excess, water has a unique capacity to thrill and entertain us in sport and play.

Our love of water is demonstrated by our pride in Australia’s elite swimmers who excel on the world sporting stage, by swimmers enjoying a hot day at the beach, and by the popularity of school and local swimming pools across the country.

Telstra is pleased to help foster Australians’ enjoyment and sporting prowess in swimming. We welcome our eighteenth year as Principal Sponsor of Swimming Australia and the Telstra Dolphins Australian Swim Team, a commitment that will extend to 21 years in 2012.

We are proud to support Australia’s young men and women swimmers — including aspiring Olympians and Paralympians — whose passion, dedication and determination places Australia at the pinnacle of the world’s sporting achievements.

We are equally proud to support ordinary Australians at local swimming clubs. Through the Telstra Assistance Fund our grants have enabled more than 320 swimming clubs to purchase essential training equipment such as kick boards, lane ropes and flags.

Our partnership with Swimming Australia also supports swimmers with disability, the Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards — won last year by Stephanie Rice — and several domestic and international swim meets that give Australians the chance to watch their swimming heroes in competition.

At Telstra we are pleased to support Australians in their passion for swimming, whether that is in the toughest international competitive arenas or at the local community swimming pool in suburbs and towns across the nation.

David Thodey Chief Executive Officer Telstra Corporation Limited

The 2008–09 year began with a very successful Trans Tasman competition series in July 2008 and ended with a number of squads from the 2009 World Championship Team (plus other emerging and elite swimmers and coaches) competing at various meets in North America and Europe.

Swimming Western Australia

Swimming Western Australia is in that rebuilding phase that each of our organisations inevitably goes through. 2008 saw many of our elite swimmers and coaches leave the state or retire. Our performance pathway has again been restructured and some exciting new initiatives introduced at the end of the year through our partnership with the Western Australian Institute of Sport. Greg Hodge has been employed by the Institute to work with our coaches to assist in the development of all programs. In addition he will hold a role in working with Swimming Western Australia development officers on our performance squads. We are also well on the way to establishing some centres of excellence in the metropolitan area. I am optimistic enough to say that the foundation work we have done this year will be the starting point for future success from Western Australia.

Our participation rates increased marginally again, which is very positive, and the interest in Junior States, Shell Meets, Junior Excellence and the recently introduced Virtual Junior Speedster Meets has been strong. Our Open Water series saw record numbers participate despite having to cancel one swim due to shark activity. So overall, the indications at the bottom of the pyramid are very encouraging.

We are working on our event structure not only to means of marketing our clubs to parents who swim provide greater opportunities for swimmers to post socially.

The Recswim program was launched this year to attract the recreational swimmer to participate in our open water series, and also as a

DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations A review of operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year indicated a decrease in revenue by 4% and an increase in expenses of 1%.

36 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2008–09 | FINANCE: SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

The financial report covers the consolidated group of Swimming Australia Limited and controlled entities, and Swimming Australia Limited as an individual parent entity. Swimming Australia Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Accounting Policies a. Principles. of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity over which Swimming Australia Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered. The consolidated group comprises Swimming Australia Limited, Swimming Australia Foundation Trust and Swimming Australia Property Trust. As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. b. Revenue. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Grant revenue is recognised in the income statement when it is controlled. When there are conditions attached to grant revenue relating to the use of those grants for specific purposes it is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability until such conditions are met or services provided. Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received unless they are designated for a specific purpose, where they are carried forward as prepaid income on the balance sheet. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Income from investments is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. b. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) b. Revenue (continued) All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). c. Inventories. Inventories consist of various publications, videos and corporate gifts and are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost. Inventories acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration are valued at the current replacement cost as at the date of acquisition. d. Property,. Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same classes of assets are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Freehold land and buildings that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

d. NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate Buildings 2.5% Furniture and fittings 4%–10% Computer and electronic equipment 33.3% Multimedia/Tech equipment 20%–33.3% Software 33.3%–50% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. e. Operating Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. f. Financial Instruments Initial recognition, classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) f. Financial Instruments (continued) performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial consolidated assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantee) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At each reporting date, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement. g. Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Income Statement. Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the consolidated entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset’s class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) h. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages, salaries and annual leave which may be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred. i. Cashw and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. j. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the Balance Sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Cashflow Statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. k. Unexpended Grants The consolidated entity receives grant monies to fund projects either for contracted periods of time or for specific projects irrespective of the period of time required to complete those projects. It is the policy of the consolidated entity to treat grant monies as unexpended grants in the balance sheet where the consolidated entity is contractually obliged to provide the services in a subsequent financial period to when the grant is received or in the case of specific project grants where the project has not been completed. l. Contributions Swimming Australia Limited receives non-reciprocal contributions from the government and other parties for no or a nominal value. These contributions are recognised at the fair value on the date of acquisition upon which time an asset is taken up in the balance sheet and revenue in the income statement. m. Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the company and consolidated entity are exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. n. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at balance date. o.

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Key estimates — Impairment The consolidated entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Fair value less costs to sell or current replacement cost calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. q. Economic Dependence Swimming Australia Limited is dependent on the Australian Sports Commission, Telstra, One HD and Speedo for the majority of its revenue used to operate the business. At the date of this report the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the Australian Sports Commission, Telstra, One HD and Speedo will not continue to support Swimming Australia Limited. r. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods The AASB has issued new, revised and amended Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the association has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the association is as follows:

AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 2008–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [ASSB Standards 1,2,4,5,7,101,107,112,114,116,121,128 131,132, 133,134,136,137, 138 and 139 and Interpretations 9 and 107] (applicable for annual

reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB 118, AASB 121, AASB 127 and AASB 136] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009).

These Standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, the impact on the company is not able to be determined. Changes to accounting requirements include:

- acquisition costs incurred in a business combination will no longer be booked to goodwill but will be expensed unless the cost relates to issuing debt or equity

securities;

- contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and may only be provisionally accounted for during a period of 12 months after acquisition; - a gain or loss of control will require the previous ownership interests to be remeasured to their fair value; - there shall be no gain or loss from transactions affecting a parent’s ownership interest of a subsidiary with all transactions required to be accounted for through equity (this will not represent a change to the company’s policy); - dividends declared out of pre-acquisition profits will not be deducted from the cost of an investment but will be recognised as income; - impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be considered when a dividend is paid by the respective investee; and

Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods (continued)

- where there is in substance no change to company interests, parent entities inserted above existing companies shall measure the cost of its investments as the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the balance sheet of the original parent at the date of reorganisation.

The company will need to determine whether to maintain its present accounting policy of calculating goodwill acquired based on the parent’s share of net assets acquired or to change so that goodwill recognised will also reflect that of the non-controlling interest.

AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 2007–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefine the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be no measurement or recognition impact on the association. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.

This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation as a hedged item should be applied in particular situations and is not expected to materially affect the company.

The company does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect them to have any material effect on the company’s financial statements.

ASSB 123: Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 and AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 and 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 123 has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the group as a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the group.

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity. There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2009. Credit risk is managed by the entity and reviewed regularly by the Finance and Audit committee. It arises from exposures to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The consolidated entity monitors the credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counterparties: – Only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised. – Only accredited fund managers linked to ‘A’ rated financial institutions are used. – The credit standing of counterparties is reviewed monthly for liquidity and credit risk. The trade receivables balances at 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2008 do not include any counterparties with external credit ratings. Customers are assessed for credit worthiness using the criteria detailed above. Price risk The consolidated entity is not exposed to any material commodity price risk. b. Financial Instruments Composition and Maturity Analysis The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instruments. As such, the amounts may not reconcile to the balance sheet.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES We have audited the accompanying financial report of Swimming Australia Limited (the company) and controlled entities (the consolidated entity), which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009 and the income statement, statement of recognised income and expenditure and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

101 IS YOUR 3G NETWORK LETTING YOU DOWN?

IF YOUR MOBILE CAN’T GET THE INFO YOU WANT QUICKLY ENOUGH, IT COULD BE THE NETWORK YOU’RE USING.

The Telstra Next G™ network is new and built for the future, not an upgrade of an old network. Over twice the size of any of our competitors’ 3G networks, it encompasses an area greater than 2 million square kilometres, and covers 99% of the Australian population. It is also Australia’s fastest mobile broadband network. So if your network’s letting you down, try the network that works better in more places.
