Home internet for remote indigenous communities

The report documents the circumstances and experiences of 3 remote Indigenous communities in central Australia: Kwale Kwale, Imangara and Mungalawurru. Residents in these communities provided significant insight into the social, economic and cultural aspects of communications access and use. This important evidence is used in the report to examine the drivers and barriers to home internet for remote communities. The report also discusses existing policy approaches to internet access, with a focus on the relationship between communications policy and broader social policies. We have included recommendations to achieve more available, accessible and affordable communications that enhance the lives of remote Indigenous communities.
