I got a few calls from this number, (03) 9001 5712, as well. I just googled it, it's a local access number for Australia used by an India phone card company called Mother India.

I think this confirmed it is a scam call. If the person on the call also knew your address, then it would mean they had got hold of customer private information from NBN or your Internet provider. This could mean a security breach because your Internet provider or NBN's system had been hacked somehow. This concerns me more then just a scam phone call.
Back a few years ago before FaceBook Messenger, Whatsapp, WeChat, or Zoom, by which we can call anyone anywhere, to avoid high cost from making international phone calls, there were a lot of companies selling phone card services. Phone card companies had a worldwide network. They offered a phone service using Internet in the middle and local voice switching at the end countries. Each end had a local fixed line phone number. eg. Say one of my relatives lived in India and I lived in Australia, when they tried to call me, instead of dialling my Australia number, which would incur cost of an International call, they would dial a local India number, +91 xxxxxxxx, to get onto a phone card company's network, this would only cost them the cost of a local call, then they keyed in phone card number and passcode which were shown on the phone card they purchased somewhere, then they keyed in my Australia number, then my phone in Australia would ring and show as someone from Melbourne (03) 9001 5712 was trying to make a domestic call to me. These companies must have gone out of business by now due to the many new ways of making video and voice calls using mobile data over the Internet instead of using the traditional voice switching network. That's probably why Mother India's website only shows "Copywrite 2012".

Likely NBN has I had a fault open, however the callers don't seem to have devolved and forgotten how to operate a phone and hang up after 2 seconds.

Caller: NBN CO This number was genuinely NBN calling about an upcoming appointment to rectify an internet outage after we logged a ticket. Yes an Indian accent, but 100% NBN guys scheduling their rectification works.

Caller: (03) 9001 5712 I thought it was a scam but turns out it is TPG's call centre (I called TPG on their website number and they confirmed it is legit). So there you go.

This bummer tried calling me, I looked it up with people saying is NBN or Telstra, I don’t have nbn or have a Telstra account, don’t know how they got my number or address as I have never delt with tel and any NBN accounts have been in my partners name. This is definitely not Telstra or nbn co.

Caller: (03) 9001 5712 Despite what some comments say, this ended up being a spam call that has given out my name and number to other spam callers. Thanks to the few comments that made it sound legitimate, and the covid working from home measures being a possible explaination for the out of hours phonecall, I answered the phone the second time they rang which was promptly hung up on me once they knew it was an active line. I am not looking forward to the onslaught of random phonecalls.... very disappointed in Tangerine internet provider for potentially leaking my details after signing up for their internet service days before.

Very suss call from a lady difficult to understand saying she was confirming my business details for an nbn install. I had given all my details to Aussie broadband and this person seems to be prodding for all the info again and then questioned me about “works” outside my business which I discovered she was using google image from 2018. She then hung up! If this is how our government owned and run nbn is operating, god help us all!!
