Gina, Sonja, Lyall, and Glenys have been having chats with mob about their experiences with Telstra. They've also been working hard to identify people who might have been affected by Telstra’s conduct unconscionable involving sales of post-paid mobile products between 2016 and 2018.
So far, the team has held workshops in Fregon, Mimili, and Pukatja, Indulkana and Amata for community discussions! Visit our facebook page to see the updates from the community visits.

of service. Her close relationship with the commanders and crew further exemplifies the impactful engagement she has had throughout.
