Regional Australians Encouraged To Have Their Say On Connectivity

Rural, regional, and remote Australians have another way to give feedback on tel­ecommunications issues with the release of the 2024 Regional Telecommunications Review survey.

The Review, which takes place every three years, sees the Regional Telecom­munications Independent Review Commit­ tee examine the experiences of people in regional, rural, and remote parts of Aus­tralia with telecommunications delivery, as well as considering the unique needs of First Nations communities.

Submissions and face-to-face consulta­tions have provided needed feedback on a range of matters including the suitability of telecommunications during emergency situations, how emerging technologies could improve connectivity; and ways tel­ecommunications can support regional de­velopment. Previous Review’s have seen the delivery of major initiatives, such as the Mobile Black Spot Program and the Na­tional Audit of Mobile Coverage.
