Starlink Congestion Charge in Australia
Starlink has recently introduced a congestion charge in specific areas across Australia due to increased network usage. Rather than these areas being “Sold Out” and requiring a wait list. There is a one-time additional fee aimed at managing network congestion and maintaining high-quality internet service for all users.
Areas currently known to have a congestion charge include specific postcodes and regions experiencing high demand. Before signing up for Starlink, it’s important to check your address to see if it falls within a congestion-affected zone, as this may impact your upfront setup costs.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding congestion charges in your area, please refer directly to Starlink’s official address-checker tool. However, here is a list we have been collecting.

FAQ: Can I bypass the Starlink congestion charge?
Some users have attempted to avoid the congestion charge by registering their service at a different address and later changing the location.

It’s important to use your correct address during sign-up to ensure uninterrupted service.
