Frequently asked questions about SSBI

Still unsure? Have a look through our most frequently asked questions. Find out more about the School Student Broadband Initiative at the National Referral Centre’s FAQs.

Do eligible families have to pay anything?

  • No, there are no charges to eligible families. Eligible families can receive a service with no monthly fees, set-up fees or hardware costs, until 30 June 2028.

What happens at the end of the SSBI?

  • The SSBI is due to expire on 30th June 2028.  MultiWave will work with the Government, NBN and the industry to provide transition options for families and carers at that time.

Can a family move to a new service provider in the free period?

  • No, an SSBI service is not able to be transferred to another SSBI internet provider. Families can choose to disconnect and leave the initiative at any time within the free period. If they cancel, they cannot re-join later.

Will I still be able to use the SSBI plan if I move to a different address?

  • If you move to an address that is nbn serviceable with your existing SSBI provider, we will be able to move your connection to your new address.  Please get in touch with the MultiWave team on 1800 525 800 to help with your move.
