NBN

Originally from New Zealand, Ray has travelled through the US & Europe and while in London he met his lovely wife Donna, who hails from Warrnambool Victoria Australia.

They returned to Australia & lived for a time in Melbourne before moving to Warrnambool to start their family – having 2 daughters who are now 19 & 21.

Having adult daughters, they took the opportunity this year to move to QLD to be closer to friends & family where Ray has taken the opportunity to work for the NBN. His role is to speak to Community Groups to help educate residents about Connecting to the NBN plus importantly highlighting Scam Awareness.

Outside of work, Ray is a referee for Touch Rugby League and enjoys walking & exploring Brisbane’s many walking tracks.

 

Ray is part of the nbn™ local Qld team. His role is to meet with local Community Groups to help educate them about the status of the nbn™ access network in there area.

His presentation will cover:

  •  What is the nbn™
  • What do you need to do to connect
  • How the nbn effects your existing Home Phone & Medical Alarms
  • Scams to be aware of

We are not selling anything as the nbn™ is the wholesaler – not a phone or internet company.

The nbn™ access network now has more than 5 million homes and 500,000 Businesses connected in Australia and continues to gather momentum with approximately 55,000 new homes, 20,000 new Businesses being added to the national footprint each month
