School Student Broadband Initiative

What is the School Student Broadband Initiative? One lesson that schools and the government learned from the "learning from home" periods in 2020 and 2021 was that not all students had access to effective and reliable internet services. As a result, many students were strongly disadvantaged, impacting the continuity of their education. Did you know that the Australian Government and the NBN offer the School Student Broadband Initiative to address this gap? Students who live in an area that can access the NBN but do not currently have an NBN service at home are eligible to apply.  Eligible families will be provided with home internet service at no cost until 31 December 2025, through a participating internet provider over the National Broadband Network. The link above provides all the necessary information for eligible families to take advantage of this initiative.
