nbn® Australia is a state-owned corporation, wholly owned by the Australian Government, that designs, builds, and operates the country's National Broadband Network (NBN). Established in 2009, it functions as a Government Business Enterprise responsible for delivering a wholesale-only, open-access broadband infrastructure across Australia.
The company operates the nbn® network, which serves as the backbone for Australia's digital economy by providing national wholesale broadband access. This infrastructure enables retail service providers to offer high-speed internet services to end users. The network utilises a range of technical approaches including fibre-to-the-premises, fibre-to-the-node, fixed wireless, and satellite services to achieve coverage for all Australians.
nbn® operates within the broadband infrastructure, digital economy, and telecommunications sectors, with its presence concentrated in Australia. As a wholesale-only provider, the company does not sell services directly to consumers but instead provides the underlying network that supports the country's retail telecommunications market.
