Stephen Jones MP and Labor have announced they will invest $7 million to improve connectivity in remote Indigenous communities, aimed to improve access to telehealth, education and tourism opportunities.

The investment is part of Labor’s broader $245 million investment to improve regional connectivity, and includes $2m to support First Nations Media with upgrades to broadcasting, transmission and digital networking equipment. 

First Nations Media plays a vital role in ensuring access to locally relevant information services, supports health and wellbeing, provides meaningful employment and skills, strengthens cultural identity and support social and economic development.
