We’re invested in all Australians thrive.

Today, being connected is more important than ever before, especially in regional Australia. From video calls with mum, mobile calls on the run or data downloads to get business done. Telstra has invested more into regional mobile networks than any other company. Over the last decade, 15% of our mobile investment has gone to 2% of the population, in rural and remote Australia. And we’re not done yet. In the next 5 years, our investment and co-investment could see up to $1 billion flow to regional Australia, including $229 million to reduce mobile blackspots, and adding 1.4 million square kilometres of 4G coverage, to create a world-leading 4G network. Because we’re committed to helping every Australian thrive.
