Telstra Corporation Limited - Media Release

10 February 2006                                                        024/2006



                        Resignation of Mr John Fletcher


Telstra chairman, Donald McGauchie AO, today announced that the Board had
accepted the resignation of Mr John Fletcher.

On behalf of all directors, Mr McGauchie thanked Mr Fletcher for his many and
substantial contributions to Telstra over the past five years.

"John Fletcher has been an outstanding director for many years, and his
experience and insight have been invaluable at a time of increasing competition
and technological change in the telecommunications industry," Mr McGauchie said.

The Board vacancy created by the resignation of Mr Fletcher will be filled along
with other vacancies.

Telstra is well advanced in the process of identifying appropriate candidates
who have international and domestic business experience and capabilities that
are appropriate for the company's needs.

"The process for reviewing candidates includes giving attention to new needs
owing to continuing uncertainty around key regulatory decisions, the development
of Telstra's new strategy, and the potential full privatisation of Telstra," Mr
McGauchie said.

"These matters are highly relevant to the needs of the company in a rapidly
changing environment," Mr McGauchie said.

Mr Fletcher joined Telstra as a non-executive Director in November 2000.  He was
also a member of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

Mr Fletcher's resignation will be effective 30 June 2006.
