Aussie Broadband is making moves out west with plans to open a new call centre and business office in central Perth as it rolls out a new dark fibre network in WA.
A statement from the company said the new office is expected to bring 160 new jobs to the area, including customer support roles, management, HR and warehouse positions.
Managing director Phillip Britt said the company was ramping up to start operations in July.
“We’re very excited to be opening an office in Perth, where we’ve always had strong support from customers. Perth has a wealth of tech talent and we’ve got a number of positions that we’re looking to fill. For Aussie, this is a great culture fit because Perth people are laid back, friendly and enjoy a good belly laugh.”

Local telco and internet provider Aussie Broadband is pushing west, opening up new operations in Western Australian capital Perth and rolling out fresh fibre across the state.
The new office in Perth is expected to bring 160 new jobs to the area, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed company said, including customer support roles, management, human resources and warehouse positions.
Perth will become the company’s third call centre operation, joining two others in Melbourne. The company’s new Perth footprint will also include a warehouse facility to dispatch locally, meaning customers in the state will receive hardware such as voice over IP (VoIP) adapters, modems and routers more quickly than at present.
