Helpful Information for Students, Parents and Carers
School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI)
This is a federal government program that I would like to share with College community. The SSBI is a program to provide free home internet for one year for up to 30,000 unconnected Australian families with school-aged students.
There is an information sheet from NBN Co that describes the program.
To be eligible, families must:
- Have a child living at home that is enrolled in an Australian school (up to year 12 including Prep in Qld/Vic/Tas, Kindy in NSW, Reception in SA, Transition in NT/ACT and Pre-Primary in WA).
- Not have an active National Broadband Network (nbn®) Internet service at home. Having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility.
- Live in a premises that can access the National Broadband Network via a standard connection - this will be checked for families.
- Not have had an active nbn connection during the previous 14 days.
Families can apply to the National Referral Centre via:
- https://www.anglicarevic.org.au/student-internet
- Calling 1800 954 610 (10am – 6pm AEDT Monday to Friday, excluding Victorian Public Holidays)
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the college.
