Amazon Data Centres
Amazon data centres are the backbone of the digital services millions of Australians rely on every day. Whether it's sending a text, tapping your credit card, checking the weather, or joining a video call, your digital day is being powered by a data centre.
Data centres and building Australia's digital future on facts
Data centres underpin public transport, banking, telecommunications, healthcare, and the electricity grid itself. They're essential infrastructure for a modern economy, yet most Australians don't think about them at all.
Amazon has been building and operating data centres globally for 20 years, and in Australia since 2012. We design and build our data centres with people, the environment, and the future in mind, and we work hard to be a good neighbour to the communities where we operate. From sustainability initiatives to community programs, Amazon is committed to investing in Australia and growing hand in hand with the communities we call home.
