Planning for 2024
Planning for 2024 is well underway. If your child is not returning for the 2024 academic year, please complete the attached Google Form.
NBN School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI)
The Australian Government has established the SSBI to provide up to 30,000 unconnected households with students in school (K-12) across all states and territories with free National Broadband Network (nbn) access for a year. Depending on where the family lives, the program will provide 50 megabits per second (Mbps) fixed line services, Fixed-Wireless Plus, and Sky Muster Plus services with large or unlimited data caps. The SSBI is an affordable solution to bridge the digital divide and expand educational opportunities for students who do not have home internet access.
To be eligible for SSBI, families must:
- Have a child living at home that is enrolled in an Australian school in 2023.
- Not have an active nbn® network internet service at home. Having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility.
- Be referred by a nominating organisation. This will include consideration of whether the child has access to a device and the digital skills to use the internet safely.
If you would like to nominate please email Mark.Coulton.MP@aph.gov.au with the below information:
- Student's name and school
- Name of the primary contact point for the family
- Home address (where the connection will be installed. This will also be used to confirm eligibility)
- Contact information (preferably email and mobile number)
For more information on SSBI, please see the attached flyers on the nomination process, e-Safety, and frequently asked questions. You can also visit the nbn website here and the website of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts website here.
Please do not hesitate to email me or phone the Moree office on (02) 67511 251 and speak to Leah if you have concerns or require further assistance.
