FEBRUARY 11, 2026 — Telstra is moving ahead with a plan that could shift up to 442 technology roles offshore to Infosys, with consultations now underway, the company confirmed.

This move came after a separate company announcement of a joint venture with Accenture, just the day before. This particular move is expected to cut up to 209 positions as the company turns to AI adoption in its operations. 

“A significant part of the proposed changes are linked to the ongoing reset of our enterprise business,” a Telstra spokesperson told iTnews.

The spokesperson said the company has made strong progress simplifying its portfolio, but added that the complexity of its legacy systems and processes continues to slow it down.

In response to this, they are proposing a strategic venture with Infosys. Aimed at modernizing the way they ‘serve enterprise and mid-market customers.”

According to her, the partnership would support the move to smarter. Thus, more integrated digital systems that will ultimately improve customer experience. 

As a result, Telstra affirmed that over 440 roles will move to Infosys. And that “some roles would no longer be required.” 

In line with this, Company CEO, Vicki Brady, reportedly gave employees two options.

“Option 1: Move to Infosys. We can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). It is not guaranteed you’ll be accepted,” Brady said.

Should the employees choose not to submit an EOI, or in any case they are not selected. Otherwise, they will be forced to accept redundancy, where they can instead apply for another role with Infosys.

“I understand this news may be challenging to hear. But I am confident these proposals are the right ones to help us become more simple and competitive. As we continue to build momentum behind our Connected Future 30 strategy,” Brady said.
