The Federal Government has announced that up to 400 new jobs will be created in Victoria as the National Broadband Network (NBN) is rolled out.

 

“Through the National Broadband Network, all Australians will access fast affordable broadband. The NBN will deliver tremendous economic benefits to Victoria and Australia through increased productivity, greater employment opportunities, and better access to information and services,” Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy said.

 

The jobs will be generated through the $40 million investment in the NBN Co’s Clayton operations, which is expected to boost employment levels by between 300 and 400 jobs at the peak of the NBN rollout.
