What we do

Critical communications

The Public Safety Network helps save lives. It keeps emergency services, government agencies and essential services connected when it matters most – providing dedicated radio communications for use during emergencies.

Emergency management

We lead the NSW Telecommunications Services Functional Area to coordinate support across agencies and protect public and commercial telecommunications infrastructure during times of crisis.

Connectivity leadership

We lead all-of-government connectivity.  We work with industry to develop new and better telecommunications products and services for government, helping to build a more connected, reliable and safer future for NSW.

The NSW Digital Connectivity Index

The NSW Digital Connectivity Index (the Index) is an easy online tool for checking internet and mobile coverage across NSW. 

Whether you’re working, studying, running a business or staying in touch, the Index helps you see if you’ll stay connected, wherever you are.

NSW Digital Inclusion Strategy

The state’s first comprehensive framework developed to address the digital divide.

It aims to ensure all people in NSW can access, afford, and safely engage with digital technologies and online resources, while maintaining offline options for essential services.

The NSW Digital Inclusion Strategy is based on research and consultation and was co-designed with input from digitally excluded communities, the public, government agencies, non-government organisations and industry.
