Broadband free initiative

The School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) is a federal government program. 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. 

 

To be eligible, families must:

  • Have a child living at home that is enrolled in an Australian school (Kinder to up to Year 12) 
  • Not have an active National Broadband Network (nbn®) Internet service at home. Having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility.
  • Live in a premise 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:
