We have made several attempts to initiate the process of establishing an nbn network connection to your building, however we have been unsuccessful in our engagement with the building’s authorised representative. Consequently, nbn does not currently plan to install a network connection to your building, unless we receive a request from the Owners’ Corporation.
If you currently use existing fixed line phone or internet services there are a number of implications to be aware of:
However, if your phone and internet services are already provided via another fibre network, they will continue to operate as normal unless your provider advises otherwise.
nbn strongly recommends that you contact your current provider of phone and internet services, or visit www.nbn.com.au/switchoff for more information about whether your services will be impacted by the rollout of the nbn network.#
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you decide to request an installation in the future.
*Please ask your Owners Corporation to contact the lift and alarm service providers for your building. This will help minimise a break in service when the existing network is switched off. Existing fire and lift services registered with nbn may be exempt from immediate disconnection. Please visit www.nbn.com.au/fireandlift for information on registering these services.
^nbn is developing a list of networks that nbn reasonably understands will continue to operate after the nbn rollout has been completed based on information provided by alternative network owners/operators. For more information, please visit www.nbn.com.au/switchoff or contact us.

NBN Co (nbn or the Company) was established in 2009 to design, build and operate Australia’s fast, wholesale local access broadband network.
Our key objective is to connect Australia and bridge the digital divide. nbn is a wholesaler, which means we give Australia’s telephone and internet providers access to the nbn™ network. These providers then sell telephone and internet plans to Australian organisations and the public.
You can read more about us and our objectives on our website.
We understand that your privacy is important to you, and we value your trust. That’s why we protect your personal information and aim to be clear and open about what we do with it.
This privacy policy (Policy) describes how we handle your personal information – that is, information about you and that identifies you, or can be reasonably linked to you. When we collect, hold, use or disclose personal information, we comply with the rules set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
From time to time, we will update this Policy. You can always find the most up-to-date version on our website at nbnco.com.au/privacy.
We only collect your personal information when we need it to provide and improve our services, manage our business and to comply with the law. The kinds of personal information that we collect depends on how you interact with us. Here are some examples.
Examples of our uses include:
We are required by law to tell the public about the rollout of the nbn™ network, including when the network will be available in different areas and when connections to the old network will no longer work. To do this, we send letters to the homes and businesses in an area that are able to connect to the nbn™ network.
If you have signed up for email updates on the delivery of the nbn™ network, we will also send you emails about the network. You can opt out of receiving updates at any time by using the 'unsubscribe' link in the updates.
We are always working to develop and improve the nbn™ network and our products and services.
One way we do this is by using new technologies that let us combine information we have with data from other sources, such as third party websites or the Australian Bureau of Statistics (abs.gov.au).
We also collect information about people that does not directly identify them, such as website and advertising analytics, and data from service providers.
This helps us learn more about how the nbn™ network is being or may be used, so we can better design, build and operate the network.
Where we work with partners or service providers to do this, we take steps to ensure that they are required to protect your information.
Examples of sharing your personal information include:
We also share personal information with people and organisations that help us with our business, such as professional advisors, IT support, and corporate and administrative services. We only do this where it is necessary for their services to be able to be provided to us. When we do this, we take steps to ensure that our service providers are required to protect your information.
Some of our service providers are located or operate outside of Australia. Where we need to, we send or give them access to personal information so that they can provide us with their services. We take steps to ensure that your personal information is at least as secure as it would be in Australia. A list of countries where our overseas suppliers are located is available here.
Staff training
We train our staff in how to keep your personal information safe and secure.
System security
We have firewalls, intrusion detection and virus scanning tools to help prevent viruses, malware and unauthorised people accessing our systems. When we send electronic data to other organisations, we take steps to keep your personal information safe such as using secure networks or encryption.
Services providers and overseas transfers
When we send personal information overseas or use service providers that handle or store data, we require them to take steps to keep your personal information safe and use it appropriately.
Building security
We use a mix of ID cards, alarms, cameras, guards and other controls to protect our offices.
Destroying or de-identifying data when no longer required
We aim to keep personal information only for as long as we need for our business or to comply with the law. When we no longer need personal information and are lawfully able to do so, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it. As a Government Business Enterprise, we are subject to the Archives Act 1983 (Cth) which requires us to retain certain records for specified periods.
You can also ask us for a copy of the personal information that we hold about you.
See section 9 for details on how you can contact us.
There is no fee to ask for your personal information. We may charge an access fee to cover the time we spend finding and putting together the personal information you want. If there is a fee, we will let you know how much it is likely to be, so you can choose if you want to go ahead.
We try to make your personal information available within 30 days after you ask us for it. Before we give you your personal information, we may need to confirm your identity.
In some cases, we can refuse access or only give you access to certain personal information. For example, we are not able to let you see personal information that is commercially sensitive. If we refuse access, we will write to you explaining our decision.
You can ask us to correct or update any of your personal information that we have. If we have given your personal information to another party, you can ask us to let them know it is incorrect. We do not charge a fee for this.
If we do not think the information needs to be corrected, we will write to let you know why. You can ask us to include a statement that states you believe our record about you is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date.
If you are concerned about your privacy or how we have handled your personal information, you can make a complaint and we will try to fix it (see ‘Contact us’ below).
We will:
If you are not satisfied with how we have managed your complaint, you can ask us to review your complaint. Or you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
