Access for everyone
We know how important it is to stay in touch with the people you love during tough times. And because everyone’s circumstances are different, we offer a range of service options to help keep you and your family members stay connected.
About the program
The Access for Everyone program was designed to assist people on a low income or facing financial hardship to maintain telecommunications access.
We have a range of measures to improve the affordability of telecommunications. This includes our InContact service, improved billing and pricing options, and the Pensioner Discount Scheme.
Our Access for Everyone Low-Income Package and Marketing Plan, identifies those in need and matches products and services to help them maintain access to telecommunications.
