The rollout of the nbn™ broadband access network sets the scene for one of the biggest transformations to Australia’s telecommunications industry and the establishment of an access network to provide fast broadband to Australians homes and businesses.

Switching a business to the nbn™ access network may take some time and preparation so nbn is launching a partner program for ICT solution providers and consultants to help them support businesses planning for the switch.

The program aims to provide training and accreditation to the ICT industry enabling them to educate business customers about what they need to do to switch to the new access network, as well as a suite of additional support services to assist with the migration process.
