Pricing factors

Here you’ll find a quick guide illustrating how nbn determines the quotes, fees and financial contributions for an Individual Premises Switch.

If an online application is deemed eligible and you choose to proceed, an application fee is required to perform a high level cost estimation. nbn will then provide a quote that outlines the financial contribution required by the applicant, as well as the payment structure. These quotes are subject to certain requirements, feasibility and availability limitations.

Once an application is submitted, nbn will provide a quote that outlines the financial contribution required by the applicant, as well as the payment structure. These quotes are subject to certain requirements, feasibility and availability limitations.

Build quote

The build quote outlines the financial contribution required as well as the overall payment structure.

nbn determines the build quote, based on the following:

  • Location of each property, taking into account geography and distance from existing nbn™ Infrastructure
  • Cheapest route option within nbn’s architectural constraints
  • Time and cost to build the infrastructure required for the switch
  • Costs of using third party infrastructure
  • Environmental and planning approvals
  • Any other matters that nbn considers to be relevant
  • Deduction of savings that would be incurred if the original planned technology is not constructed
