Australians want affordable, reliable internet for all.
New research commissioned by ACCAN and conducted by Essential Research reveals strong public support for a concessional broadband service to help low-income households stay connected during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
- 69% of Australians support the introduction of a concessional broadband service.
- Support is highest among:
- Low-income households (82%)
- People with disability or long-term health conditions (75%)
- Those in serious financial difficulty (81%)
- Retirees (77%)
With broadband now essential for accessing education, employment, health care, and government services, the findings reinforce calls for government action to ensure no Australian is left offline.
