NBN is a state-owned corporation headquartered in Australia. Founded in 2009, NBN employs approximately 5,270 individuals, specializing in telecoms. The company functions as Australia's wholesale broadband provider, tasked by the Australian Government to design, build, and operate the nation's National Broadband Network. As a publicly owned corporation, NBN reports to the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Communications.
Australian government-owned wholesale broadband provider NBN Co will implement annual wholesale pricing increases for broadband services starting July 1, 2026. The changes, broadly aligned with inflation under its regulatory framework, will see wholesale prices rise on average by slightly less than the 3.63% annual Consumer Price Index recorded through December 2025. Previously, on April 28, NBN Co successfully trialed multiple generations of optical technologies over its existing Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) network, demonstrating its infrastructure's capability to support growing household and business data demands for decades. This followed its April 27 announcement of a targeted fibre upgrade program, designed to transition selected homes and businesses from legacy copper to full fibre in specific locations. The initiative, announced after consultation with industry and stakeholders, complements the existing Fibre Connect program which remains the primary mechanism for migration. Earlier, on April 23, NBN contractors walked off the job for 24 hours following claims by the Communications Workers Union (CWU) that NBN Co was refusing to pay contractors for their work. The CWU cited NBN Co's alleged cuts to subcontractor rates, unilateral changes to installation requirements, and rising fuel costs, with a stop-work rally held outside NBN Co’s North Sydney offices.
