About Us
At Aussie Broadband, things are done a little bit differently. Our goal is to be the telco people love – customers, team members, shareholders and all stakeholders. We do this by living and breathing our values in everything we do, that's the Aussie way. As a B Corp Certified company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We're proud to have been named one of Australia's Top Employers by HRD magazine.
Listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: ABB), the Aussie Broadband Group collectively supplies more than 1 million telecommunications services, operates two Tier 1 voice providers in Australia and owns fibre infrastructure.
Our culture is built on five values that guide everything we do:
Don't be ordinary, be awesome | Think BIG | No bullsh*t | Be good to people | Have fun
At Aussie Broadband, our purpose is to change the game. We're looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel to join our Legal team and provide practical, business-focused legal advice that enables great outcomes while appropriately managing risk.

- Developing and maintaining contract templates, legal resources and playbooks.
- Supporting dispute resolution and litigation matters when required.
- Delivering practical legal guidance and training to stakeholders across the business.
- Supporting governance and company secretarial activities, including Board and Committee administration, regulatory lodgements and corporate compliance obligations.

- Experience working in-house, on secondment, or within a commercial legal practice.
- Strong knowledge of commercial contracting and corporate legal matters.
- Experience advising on competition and consumer law, including ACCC-related requirements.

What We Do
Aussie Broadband is in business to change the telco game. We're a rapidly growing internet service provider with a reputation for providing high-quality internet, transparent customer service and a great place to work. We are proud to have an all-Australian based support team, and don't need to go offshore. We believe it is possible to work smarter, not harder, and keep jobs locally. We've evolved from a start-up in a lounge room in Morwell, later merging with Westvic Broadband, and now listed on the ASX. We are the fifth largest provider of NBN services across Australia. We offer a range of services across the residential, small business and enterprise segments, wholesale and white label segments. Aussie Broadband is also well-known for operating a quality network, with the rollout of our own fibre network across Australia underway. We not only challenge the game in telco, but also other games worth playing - like a focus on inclusion, values that live within the business rather than on the walls, how a rapidly growing company can still feel like a family, how we can make our communities better, and how a regional business can make a national impact.
