Prior to the end of the one-year period, nbn expects that the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) participating internet provider will advise a participating family of their options. Internet providers should not automatically place families onto a paid service without their consent.
The School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) is a targeted affordability initiative stemming from a commitment by the Australian government to boost education opportunities for students. This commitment will help provide up to 30,000 families with access to high-speed home internet over the nbn® network.
The Australian Government requires families to be identified by Nominating Organisations (e.g., schools, education authorities, charities, and community organisations as identified by the Government).
From their School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) internet service provider during the one-year service period.
Families are encouraged to get information and resources to help use their home broadband connection safely from the eSafety Commission site: [https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents](https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents)
– Contact their Nominating Organisation if they have been identified as potentially eligible.
– Visit [nbn.com.au/ssbi](https://www.nbn.com.au/ssbi) (from 27 February 2023).
– Call the SSBI Help Desk on **1800 626 269**.
– Visit the Australian Government website: [https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-communications-arts/internet/national-broadband-network/ssbi](https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-communications-arts/internet/national-broadband-network/ssbi).
The School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) aims to boost education opportunities by providing up to 30,000 Australian eligible families with school-age children (K-12), with free nbn-powered broadband internet at home for one year.
If an employee or worker within a nominating organisation is uncertain about the family’s eligibility, they should check with the initiative coordinator within their organisation. Nominating organisations will apply their judgement as to whether a candidate should be referred. nbn is only responsible for checking addresses of nominated families (based on the addresses provided to nbn by Nominating Organisations) do not have an active nbn service and are nbn serviceable.
In the event a family seeks to redeem an eligible voucher with an internet service provider as part of the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), and that voucher does not work, the internet service provider can contact nbn and the family should contact their nominating organisation.
Eligible families will be identified and engaged with (via parents/carers) by schools, education authorities, and community organisations involved in the initiative (Nominating Organisations).
An nbn-powered home broadband service will be provided to eligible students and their families for one-year. The 12-month period starts from the day they activate an eligible School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), service e.g., if a family connects on 30 May 2023, they will have an SSBI service until 29 May 2024. The last date when eligible families can place an order to receive an SSBI service, using an eligible voucher, is 30 June 2023 (or earlier if 30,000 orders are activated before this date).
Devices such as phones, tablets, or computers are not included with the Initiative. A router/modem will be provided to families by their chosen participating internet provider to connect them to the nbn network.
