Telstra Partnership

Plans cover:

• Mobile phones, accessing the full Telstra network Australia-wide
• Landlines and voice calling systems, scalable from small congregations through to large entities
• Cyber security through email and DNS security to protect against cyber attacks and hijacking
• Internet/interoffice connectivity from basic broadband through to enterprise-grade routers with firewalls and 24x7 managed service monitoring.

Enterprise-level support will be provided for all plans.

The offer is available to all LCANZ entities in Australia. This includes congregations, schools, early childhood services, aged care and community services, and churchwide and district offices and agencies. (Plans for LCANZ entities in New Zealand are being negotiated.)

Reduced pricing for services has been negotiated for church entities, and some plans with discounted pricing have been created especially for the LCANZ. Savings will vary, depending on each entity’s current services usage and supplier.

As an example, a Telstra congregation plan ranging from $65 to $144 a month will include a landline connection, internet connection, cyber security on email and domain name, plus 24/7 support. These services could cost up to $600 a month from another retail service provider.

The Telstra offer is highly likely to provide a greater quality of overall service than what church entities are receiving now, particularly in the area of cyber security. It will be very easy to select the required services from a pre-planned menu organised by the Churchwide Office. Telstra’s experienced delivery partner team, TAA Connect, is on board and will act as an IT support sounding board, ready to help guide church leaders to identify the best options for their congregation or agency.
