Upgrades to the nbn® network help deliver social impacts across Australia in FY24
Research commissioned by NBN Co and prepared by Ember Advisors reveals that access to nbn-enabled fast broadband has had a positive impact on individual wellbeing. The nationally representative results also look at impacts on three target groups, regional and remote Australia, low-income and First Nations people.
The research examines impact on an individual’s satisfaction with life along with impacts across employment and income, education and skills, health, social and community connection, and environment in FY24. Respondents were asked to consider the way they use the internet and the impact of their home internet use over the previous 12 months.
Economic and social impacts of investment in the nbn network
Economic research, commissioned by NBN Co and prepared by Accenture, estimates that a fast, high capacity and reliable nbn network will improve Australia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by a total of around $400 billion over the next eight years (2023-2030).
Social impact research was also undertaken to measure the social impact of the nbn network in FY23 for overall wellbeing (life satisfaction) and wellbeing across five domains: employment and income; education and skills; health; social and community connection; and environment.
