Looking after each other
Currently there is increased demand on telecommunications networks across Australia due to Coronavirus. You may experience difficulty getting through to our Customer Care Team by phone. If so, please use email or use online chat for queries. We apologise for any inconvenience.
As a GloBird customer
We hope you’re safe and well, and we ask you to follow the best source of health advice listed below.
As a pre-cautionary measure, we have asked many of our staff to work from home. Unfortunately this can impact the speed we can answer phone calls, and we are experiencing longer than usual wait times at the moment. To help us manage through this difficult time, we ask you to please submit any non-urgent enquiries via online chat or by emailing us here
