In most cases, no. Australia only has three main cellular network providers: Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone. This means that smaller telcos essentially resell access to one of these networks. While there may be slight variations in coverage between the "wholesale" networks most smaller carriers use and the "full" networks of Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone, the difference is usually negligible for most users. For instance, Telstra's full network covers 99.6% of the population, compared to 98.8% for its wholesale network, with the variance primarily affecting remote rural areas.
