A Senate inquiry into the September 2025 Optus national outage, which left hundreds unable to call Triple Zero and was linked to multiple deaths, has recommended sweeping changes to Australia's telecommunications industry. The inquiry, chaired by Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, concluded that Australian telcos are 'on notice' and marked 'the end of the era of self-regulation.' The final report, supported by both Labor and Coalition members, goes beyond previous recommendations following the 2023 Optus outage and the July 2025 Telstra outage. Key recommendations include stripping Telstra of its current contract to operate the Triple Zero system until 2032 and establishing a new statutory authority to manage it. The report also urges the government to mandate domestic roaming, allowing mobile devices to connect to any available network infrastructure regardless of ownership. This recommendation aligns with calls from the National Farmers Federation, Australian Communications Consumer Action Network, and the OECD, which criticized Australia's lack of competition in the telco market, particularly in regional areas. The inquiry further recommends implementing text messaging capabilities for Triple Zero, setting reliability and performance standards for telcos, and automatic compensation for outage-affected customers. The report strongly criticizes the Australian Communications and Media Authority for inadequate regulation and calls for an independent review and expanded investigative powers. The inquiry emphasizes that current telecommunications legislation, designed during a deregulation era, must now prioritize consumer safety, reliability, and performance. With emerging technologies like low Earth orbit satellites and the need for infrastructure-sharing obligations, the report argues that updating existing laws is insufficient; a completely new telecommunications act is required to prepare for future industry changes. The bipartisan support for these recommendations underscores the urgency for government action to reform the sector.
