Telstra plans to lay off 550 employees as part of ongoing restructuring, with the affected roles representing less than two percent of the total workforce.
Last year, Telstra terminated around 1900 employees as part of cost-cutting measures across its network applications and services business.
The job cuts are driven by the reset of Telstra's Enterprise business and improvements in structure and processes, not related to AI adoption.
Telstra's enterprise business has faced challenges due to reduced professional services spend, leading to previous staff reductions.
