The hub will help Australians understand the telecommunications options available to them, decide which option best suits their needs and resolve any problems they experience with their phone and internet connections.

Regional Communications Minister Mark Coulton said the Regional Tech Hub delivers on the government's commitment to help improve the digital literacy of Australians in regional, rural and remote areas.

"The Regional Tech Hub is an important part of our approach to ensuring people understand all options available to them, from mobile networks to NBN Sky Muster Plus," Mr Coulton said.

National Farmers' Federation president Fiona Simson was present at Parliament House for the launch of the hub and said the easy-to-use online portal and enquiry hotline is staffed by tech support experts located in regional Australia.

"The Tech Hub builds on the outstanding work pioneered by the volunteer organisation Better Internet for Rural, Regional and Remote Australia," Ms Simson said.

The Regional Tech Hub was funded as part of a $220 million Stronger Regional Digital Connectivity Program announced in March, 2019.

The NFF will deliver the tech hub for an initial 12 months, with an option for a further two-year extension.
