Do I need to change my lift phone with the NBN?

 

It is requirement of the Australian standard that all lifts carrying passengers must have communication that is permanently available. As the National Broadband Network (nbn™) rolls out across Australia, existing copper landline networks used for fixed line phone and internet services are being replaced. This means lift phone services utilising existing landline networks will no longer work once the network is disconnected.

The NBN cannot guarantee communication from a lift phone in the case of a power failure.

If the emergency phone in your home or building’s lift is currently operating over a fixed landline service, you will need to migrate your lift phone services to the nbn™ or an alternative service before the fixed line disconnection date set for your area.

To discuss lift phone service migration options, please call 1300 775 464 and a member of our team can assist.
