Up to 700 new high-skill jobs will be created in Melbourne over the next several years to ensure greater cyber protection for the National Broadband Network.

Communications Minister Mitch Fifield says the NBN will establish a new cyber security operations centre in Melbourne's Docklands.

"In coming years, millions of Australians will be reliant on the NBN, so it is vital that continued cyber security for this important infrastructure is protected and in place at all times," Senator FiField said in a statement on Sunday.
