Digital and Information Technology

    Media and telecommunications are the crucial instruments that allow us to connect with our fellow regional, rural, and remote Territorians. Information media and telecommunications industries are responsible for a wide range of activities, including traditional and online media, the design, construction, installation, and servicing of telecommunications equipment, systems, and facilities. Without these services, communities may become cut off, leading to social disruption, isolation, and food shortages. These services require a skilled workforce who can respond quickly to maintain and upgrade hardware and software.

    Industry Associations

    Understanding their role

    Most industries in Australia have representation by industry associations that provide members with services, including support and training.


    Industry associations play an essential role in presenting the collective voice for individual businesses within an industry.
