All outdoor areas of Australia would have mobile coverage by 2027 under laws proposed by Labor.

While Australia has previously had a universal service obligation for landlines and payphones, it has not extended to mobile phone coverage.

Laws setting up the requirement would be introduced to parliament later in 2025, with the mobile obligation to focus at first on SMS and phone calls. The universal service could be expanded to include mobile data in the future as technology improves.
