Advocacy is at the heart of IAA as an association, and we are proud to represent the interests of our members amidst today’s ever changing regulatory environment. We actively advocate for the perspectives of our members through submissions, participating in working groups and collaborating with independent regulators, government departments and like-minded organisations to shape future internet regulation.

The Public Policy Advisory Panel enables us to take our advocacy efforts to the next level by providing input on IAA’s policy positions and advocacy program. Through meetings and other channels, the Panel works collaboratively with IAA staff and Board, enriching our perspectives, knowledge and insights that inform our submissions.
Things continue to be busy for the policy team. Over the past couple months, we’ve been involved in the NBN Co SAU (Special Access Undertaking) variation process which will hopefully come to a close by the end of the year. NBN Co will be submitting an updated SAU later this month, and hopefully, this iteration will be acceptable.
