Chorus Kickstart is an advance of funds to support activity that drives Chorus fibre network growth

After talking to you, we recognised there was a common theme regarding the challenge of internal prioritisation. As a result, we have developed Chorus Kickstart, to support RSPs activity by advancing incentive credits to fund activity that is targeting fibre growth, upfront.
How Kickstart works
- An RSP applies to their Customer Engagement team for an advance that support specific activity intended to drive fibre growth.
- The activity needs to clearly support fibre growth e.g. it could be a targeted campaign using off-net addresses list and / or increased capability or resources within the RSP that will support fibre growth.
- The Kickstart advance is limited to the lesser of (a) the total of last 3 months’ RSP credits (based on the FY25 RSP incentive credit package) received or (b) $200,000.
- Once activity is agreed and the application is accepted by Chorus , we will pay the advance in the next payment cycle. The advance is treated as a loan and is ‘repaid’ via deduction from the following month(s) incentive credit payment(s) - details of credits can be found here.
Please get in touch with your Customer Engagement team to discuss any initiatives that you believe Kickstart could be helpful with or if you have any feedback or questions .
Highlights
- Advance of funds, money upfront
- Variety of activity could be considered
- A straightforward application process
