Supporting our community's local prosperity

To be sustainable, regional Australia needs
  • infrastructure,
  • opportunities and
  • capital.
The key to all three is a community desire to make a change and the commitment to see it through.

During the 1990s when the ‘big four’ banks closed over 2,000 branches, the Bendigo Bank developed its Community Bank® model. Bendigo Bank now provides the banking systems for over 210 community-owned banks all over Australia.

Like the banking model, a Community TelcoTM pools local telecommunications demand, enabling the community to have some influence in the infrastructure investment decisions of suppliers.

Regional businesses with the same quality of voice and data services as their metropolitan counterparts can be more competitive on a broader scale.

These successful regional businesses also generate employment and contribute to a thriving local economy, which makes that region an even more attractive investment destination.

The Community Telco group also has the full support and backing of Community Telco Australia and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group, providing processes, systems, and significant buying power to benefit our own local businesses and communities.


Supporting your business with telco capability

Telco solutions for local businesses

The Community Telco group provides telecommunications solutions for many regional communities.

By bringing together the telco spend of local businesses, these local Community Telco companies can influence carriers to offer greater service delivery and market competition for regional Australia.

As part of a national Community Telco group that currently reaches across four states, these local companies leverage national buying power whilst keeping profits and contributions local.

All your business telco needs are covered.

South East Qld Community Telco

South East Qld Community Telco was first established as iTEL Community Telco in Ipswich in September 2001, after the purchase of Ipswich City Council’s Global Info Links Pty Ltd.

It later adopted the Bendigo Bank initiative modelled on the community engagement philosophy, and became part of the Community Telco group of companies that stretches across four states.

The change of name from iTEL Community Telco to South East Qld Community Telco more accurately reflects the ever expanding customer base and the successful growth of this company within Queensland’s South East.

The new brand identity, implemented in 2008, is a significant milestone in the history of the Community Telco group, and conveys its ability to be an intrinsic driver in the future of regional telecommunications. It unifies the Australia-wide group, leveraging the national brand to secure the latest in telecommunications infrastructure and solutions in regional communities.

South East Qld Community Telco not only offers a complete range of telecommunication products for business and households - including landlines and mobile phones, internet services and web hosting - but provides outstanding customer service to the South East Queensland region.

A recurring revenue stream funds local community projects, ultimately providing the sustainability and strength which local communities need.
