Sales and New Connections

What is a Proof of Occupancy Document?

A Proof of Occupancy Document is needed when an NBN service being connected at your home, but there is already an active service (that is not owned by you) at that address.

It normally occurs when you move into a rental or recently purchased property where the previous occupant has not yet cancelled their services (or the cancellation has not yet completed).

The most common occupancy documents (and those generally readily available) are a lease/rental agreement or a contract of sale.
