How it started
History
TPG Telecom was previously known as Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA). VHA was majority owned by Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia), a listed company of CK Hutchison Holdings group and Vodafone. Vodafone Hutchison Australia was formed by a merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison Australia's 3 in 2009. VHA started to phase out the 3 brand in 2011.
A merger of TPG and Vodafone Hutchison Australia was officially announced on 30 August 2018. Initially rejected by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), the plan was given permission to proceed via a February 2020 Federal Court of Australia ruling. On 30 June 2020, VHA received a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange. The newly listed company then merged with TPG Corporation, previously known as TPG Telecom on 13 July 2020.
